Dear Jay,

I am the niece of William (Bill) Kreider. Bill was the author of one of your articles on this site (Eyewitness account #2).

I am sorry to say, that Bill passed away on Nov. 17 at his home in San Francisco. I know that he was in touch with a few of the readers of this web site as I had often printed off articles and mailed them to him. Here is the link to his death notice if you would like to post it. http://www.legacy.com/philly/LegacySubPage2.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=15700009

Any email correspondence to the family can be sent to me.

Thank you for all your work on this site and to the memory of your father who also served this country.

Sincerely,
Nancy Seaver
