Bill Pentz is a Hero
I have been aware of the dangers of fine particles for several years before I met Bill. Bill has done wonders to spread the word in a way that makes the data believable. Everyone has the right to stick their head in the sand or believe that "I will be fine until it is my time". But it is a good thing to have the knowledge made available. If one is going to deny the evidence they ought to at least see the evidence.
Thank you Bill for being my Hero.
Btw, I met Bill for the first time when he was teaching at Sacramento State University in the Computer Science Department. He helped me greatly in preparing me to teach in that same capacity. If I recall correctly, he also taught at the University of California at Davis. At the time I didn't know he shared my love for woodworking. That part of our friendship came much later. Although it doesn't show through in his postings and his web site, he really is a very unpretentious fellow, that in addition to be generous, knowledgeable, and dedicated. Too bad he aint rich and good looking.
