For many years, Bill served public high schools in South Carolina, teaching physics, physical science, or astronomy. Hundreds of students over the years benefited from Bill’s keen sense of understanding of how to communicate and teach. On the 1996 and 1998 expeditions, and later, by participating in interviews with some of Titanic’s survivors, Bill combined his passion and teaching skills into a new hobby – giving presentations so people of all ages can learn more about the ship’s construction, the people, the facts and myths of what happened, as well as the efforts to preserve artifacts from the ship. Throughout the past 40 years, he has presented more than 400 Titanic presentations. Bill is currently an instructor of Physics Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College in Asheville, NC. He plans and conducts a conference, TitanicCon, each year for enthusiasts to gather and learn and share all things Titanic. Find out more at https://still-toking-with.pinecast.co
