Bill was always a strong advocate for the youth, not only in our church community, but also throughout Calvert County with his many years of service as a member and past president of the Calvert County School Board. He would always make it a point to attend the many high school plays, graduations, and other school events throughout the years. Because of his generosity to our youth and with the blessing of his family we felt it most appropriate to name the citizenship award in his name in 2021.
