Our good friend Bill MacLeod died Saturday, August 21, in Odessa, Texas.

We extend our love and support to his family. We will miss Bill's frequent visits to Front Street Books, picking up his favorite newspapers and books, and delivering his books on the geology of the Big Bend. He never wasted a moment doing what he liked and sharing it with others.

Well done, Bill. You are irreplaceable, and we shall miss you.

– Jean and all the Staff
