Comment from Bill Schott
Debi,
I apologize for taking so long to respond to this amazing poem you constructed.
This is a special work to me, of course, and pulls a lot of my life together in this one piece.
Ten years with one wife and thirty-eight with another, kids, and grandkids are a lot of affected lives.
Between the Marines and teaching high school, the pressure and good times are well-remembered.
Thank you for doing this and making it sound so good.

That's ok, Bill. I am just happy to hear from you. I just seem to worry that there might be something that needs changing or if I did it wrong.. I tried to be careful and only touch on your other marriage because of consideration for Kathy and now. But didn't want to lesson the importance of your children from your first marriage. So I hope I did right. I do try to be sensitive to everyone's feelings.
So with that said, I will tell you once again how thrilled I am that you liked it and I hope you got the link to send to others if you wish. I hope you had a great birthday. You are an amazing man and you do have an amazing family too.
I do have to ask if you had seen that picture of your brother in-law before? I really had to dig to find it but it was fun to find. Make sure to read the reviews and all the kind birthday wishes. Thanks again, my awesome friend. You have made my day, and those beautiful stars are appreciated. Love, Debi
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Congrats on your 50th anniversary, Debi! That's some achievement and I hope you celebrated in style. Another of your fine tributes here to Bill who we all know has had a difficult time over the last 6 months or so. You pack your verse full of impressive background detail, an excellent mini biography, complemented with your extensive notes. I'm sure he'll be very proud. Happy (belated) Birthday, Bill! Thanks for sharing. Debbie

Thank you Deb. You are so kind, and I appreciate all the well wishes. I am actually going to release one on Sunday after our party tomorrow night because I am going to thank everyone then. I printed off the book and taking it with us. Anyway, I normally wouldn't have allowed all this fuss, but I do admit that fifty feels really weird. Y'know. That was for my grandparents, not me. LOL
Anyway thanks for the kind remarks for Bills poem. He is quite the character so I hope he is reading the reviews. Thanks again, Debbie, my awesome friend. Love, Debi
Comment from Pam (respa)
Great artwork and nice presentation, Debi. Thanks for sharing it, the notes, and poem. You put so much thought into these birthday poems. You wrote a really good poem with many interesting details. It doesn't seem like Bill has had a boring life. Maybe that's where some of the humor and imagination comes from.
I don't know how you weave imagery and rhyme from specific detail, but it works and we get to learn out our fellow fanstorians in a very creative way. I love your closing couplet, too.
Happy Birthday, Bill, and thanks for sharing everything with Debi. I know you have a sense of humor, and you used to teach, but you have quite a few family members who teach, as well.
Maybe your next endeavor is having your own school. You have the teachers to do it, but I wonder if the pay and benefits would be a problem:)

Hahahaha. That last remark to Bill was hilarious. Thank you so much for noticing the art. That took me hours to do, and his poem was a day and a half, because he had so much info and I didn't want to add things about his one son and kids without adding about the others fairly, so I take all that into consideration and constantly ask myself will that offend anyone? Thank you for being so observant because I needed to hear those kind things right now.
I certainly hope Bill liked it and is reading all the awesome reviews and well wishes. He will love your fun comments.
Thanks so much my lovely friend. You are the greatest!! Love, Debi

You are very welcome, Debi, and I am glad my review was meaningful and fun. I hope Bill read it and enjoyed it, too. You put so much work into it, and I appreciate what you do.
Comment from Ric Myworld
It's always nice to read about interesting people who've lived a full life, and especially those like Bill who has the talent to twist his ventures into entertaining and funny stories and scripts. Happy Birthday, Bill!

Hi there Ric, I think I like your reviews about the best. You are fun to be around, you give great comments and you are a heck of a nice guy.
Thanks for being a day brightener, my friend. Love, Debi

You're a sweetheart, my dear, and I'm thankful we finally found each other. Congratulations, and Happy 50th Anniversary to you and Glen! 50-years is hard with even with the greatest of people. :-) Have a wonderful weekend!
Comment from bob cullen
Bill is one very interesting man, and a military hero, everyone who served is a hero to me. I'd love to know more about this man. Is he a member of fanstory? Or is there a book available on his life? As with everything you write Debi, this leaves this reader wanting more. Please let me know just where I can discover that MORE.

Hi Bob, first of all, it is so good to hear from you. And yes, Bill is a member here and I am surprised you haven't met yet. He is a great guy, he obviously has led a very interesting life, so maybe if you pm Bill that will help to get some more info on him. Give it a try, as he is a heck of a nice guy.
Thanks so much tho for the wonderful review and kind comments. Also for the generous stars, my dear friend. Love, Debi
Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Debi,
You did a good job with the collage of images to illustrate all the parts of your birthday poem for Bill. Kathy is his second wife. Did his first wife die or was it divorce? It seems he and his whole family serve in different ways.
He has an interesting family.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Comment from Dr. Nad
Thank you so very much Debbie for once again, providing insight Into Bill of our fan story family. With great skill and precision, you have enlightened us in the ways of Bill that we would never know. Who would've thought anyone could ever make it all rhyme? Only you, sis! THANKS.

Thank you so much, Dan. As you already know I am a stickler on meter, but these are so hard to do because you have to use the right words even if they don't fit. So I appreciate your vote of confidence and your six stars.
I have been watching if you posted anything yet. I haven't had any notifications. But I have been so busy getting my poem for our 50th wedding anniversary for Sunday to go in the book that Sally started for me. There has already been at least five poems for us. Isn't that nice? It will be one to remember, that is for sure. I am so very touched by all the love.
Thanks again, dear bro for the kind words and stars. Love, Debi
-
Hey Sis, you are most welcome. 🙏. Maybe I should check with Sally (??Law??) , but I haven?t heard of this book of poems for you and your husband. I write so little, but I would like to get some information and write a poem for you guys. I don?t know if there?s a body of information somewhere that one could draw from
-
Hi Dan, did you get my pm?
-
Hi again, Dan. I am honored that you would write a poem for us. To get info, just go to the one I wrote for it and click on the arrows on the top of the page.

Sounds good, thank you.
Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Debi, this is a wonderful tribute to Bill. He has led an amazing life.
Of special note:
He taught for fifteen years and retired Two Thousand Eighteen
Surprised he stayed that long, for all the things he's lived and seen
(Perfect timing)
Great photo, fantastic music, and now, there is only one thing left to
say ... Happy Birthday, Bill. I hope you have a perfect day.
Well done. Margaret

Hello my adorable sweet sista. You are so sweet and kind and I always appreciate your lovely reviews. You mentioned you liked the art. So did you see that I found Kathy's brother as a buccaneer and specialized the other art to go with it? So few have noticed it, so I was wondering if it was obvious? I spent a lot of time on the art for this one. Not bragging but wondering if it is worth it. I hope Bill liked it.
Anyway, thanks again. I appreciate your lovely review. Love, Debi
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Bill has lived a very interesting life and was lucky to have survived it. War is not a safe game to play. His teaching seems to have rubbed off on his family as well. This is a lovely poem you have written for him, Debi.
