I was deeply saddened by the death of Bill Green today. I had the opportunity to get to know him well as a journalist and friend over the years, and we always had a very good relationship. Bill's role in the rapid growth of the Huntsville Times over the last 9 years was instrumental, as he led the paper through significant production upgrades and saw its circulation increase dramatically. Bill also played an important role in his community as a leader of many civic and cultural organizations in the Huntsville area. At the State level, the World War II veteran was a member of the Board of Directors of the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama; a board member of Leadership Alabama; a member of the TVA Community Relations Council; and member of the Board of Directors of the North Alabama Science Center. His total dedication to the field of journalism together with his personal commitment to serving the Huntsville area and State, made him one of those rare individuals who everyone respected and admired. I extend my sincerest condolences to Bill's wife, Janie, and their entire family in the wake of their tremendous loss.
