Bill Chips in with a Compliment for Fryer
When I was seeing Bill's autobiography through the press at Sumner, I spotted a few inconsistencies (spelling of names, etc.). When I drew these to Bill's attention he said to me: 'Fryer, you have eyes like a shithouse rat!' No greater compliment has ever been paid to my editing skills, and whenever I feel a bit low I cheer myself up by recalling Bill's words with pride.
Bill's lifelong loyalty to his class, and to the beliefs and ideals of his youth, command respect, admiration, and (from me at any rate) love.
Peter Fryer: from the booklet celebrating Bill's 80th Birthday.
