<p>Speaking of George Willer, I saw an ad on some wbpage
advertising one of those "build your own mini bulldozer" kits

<div> Cecil Monson was 'one of the best', along with George
Willer. Both were very friendly, always wanting to help
others, very competent, 'backbone of America' type. I miss
them; we all miss them. </div>

particular set such a fine example for the general
character of the ATIS list—knowledgeable, generous,
respectful, welcoming. </p>
