A sad loss. I met Bill and Gene at a several-day workshop on American History in Song held in the Boston area in 1975. The Bonyuns, Tony Saletan, Jack Langstaff and others shared lots of terrific songs, as well as their ideas about how to use songs about historical events as a way to make history teaching come alive. (The presumption being that Americans would be more interested in learning about history when the Bicentennial rolled around.) Bill was a wonderful teacher who made the job of teaching look effortless (a look that belied all the thought and work he put into his presentations). A warm, wonderful person, too. RIP.
