G.E. had been trying to buy the company for six years, “and this was their third pass at us, and it just seemed like it was time to go.” Both parties, he said, thought they got a good deal, and in hindsight, the timing proved perfect. “We might have had a tough time selling it after the financial crisis hit.” Still invested, but not an active participant in several businesses, Williams spends most of his time driving around the country, visiting family and friends, with his wife of 49 years, Sue.

Local politics is his other pastime, Williams said, but “not to run for office.” Vocational education is a primary focus. The school system’s slogan is “Every student college bound every day. That just doesn’t work (because) not everyone is cut out for it.” A better slogan – and educational emphasis – is “Every student career bound every day,” he said, using himself as an example. “I and many others didn’t go to college; we went to vo-tech and learned a trade.” q
