Please join me in celebrating the 74th birthday of our friend Bill Riedel. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Bill a few years ago. In a short amount of time he has become one of my most cherished friends. I could sit here for hours and relate many many stories of my personal experiences with him in the letterhead movement...but I won't ( you're welcome!). BILL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! God Bless You! Joe, Makin Chips and Havin Fun!

I feel extremely fortunate to have gotten to know you Bill Reidel. That fateful day at the Banff Airport has blessed me with a wonderful friendship. There is no Letterhead meet on earth where I would miss having a good chat with you! I enjoy your stories, your attitude (on life!), your enthuisiasm for everything and your warm kindness towards everyone.
Love and happiness to you my friend, Nettie

I had the opportunity to finally meet Bill at Alan Johnsons back in November and can say that if there is any one person in the sign business that you would want to meet, Bill would be my choice. Bill is FULL of valuable information and appears to enjoy showing others his talents and to share that knowledge. I can only hope that someday I can do what Bill does and help the future letterheads. Bill is definitely one of my sign gods.
Keep it going Bill!!!!
Happy Birthday
Disclaimer: to the other letterheads and pinheads I have met, you all are great in your own way. Keep up the great work

Bill, Wishing you a very happy birthday! Looking forward to someday meeting you, and I have several friends that speak very highly of you; the kind of praise that is not easily earned. Live long and smile big!

Geez...I met your son in law the other day and found out I have known him both as a customer (a happy one I hope) and as one of our local animal control people (we met with him on an animal adoption then didn't take the dog) Hope he didn't hold that against me.
Boy what a small world...eh? Monte
