Other aspects of your appearance: A bit on the shorts side, slender but still well muscled, with light brown hair and green eyes Bill is frequently told that he looks almost exactly like is father did before he went off to war. His small stature earned him a fair ammount of grief during high school, but has proven advantageous in his profession as a pilot.

Skills/Talents: Bill is a very calm, logical and analytical person. He is also very talented pilot, having a very intimate understanding of the mechanics required to make an aircraft fly and perform in the manner he wants it. He is also a good shot with a rifle, though he's not too fond of hunting.
Weaknesses: Bill tends to be very quiet and is more than a bit socially awkward. He finds girls to be confusing and intimidating and as such he has never dated. He also tends to be a bit too cool and analytical for most people's taste.
Personality: Bill is a very, shall we say, sober individual. He's not particularly excitable, and most especially about things his peers are usually interested in. Many would describe them as being boring and a stick in the mud, a person is not good for much fun. However Bill does enjoy having a good time, just his definition of a good time is different than most others. He has a more dry sense of humor and is more likely to use sarcasm than anything else. While he does have his flights of fancy there more along the lines of adding a last-minute modification to something he's working on rather than going off and doing something crazy. Not many people outside of his family take the time to get to know him, but those people who do find him to be a very decent, even if he is a bit eccentric.

Family:
Father: Richard (43) Mr. Williams is a sickly man having suffered from a gas attack during the last months of the war. He worked for farm labor for a time, but now works as a janitor at the munitions factory after several years of unemployment.
Mother: Susan (41) a strong-willed, independent, capable woman Susan spent her adult life at home working as a laundress and seamstress while raising her children at home.
Younger Sister: Abigail (16) the eldest of the two twins by a matter of minutes, a fact which she exploits regularly with Adam, Abigail is a vibrant and lively young woman who is caught the eye of several young men in the town. She is guarded closely by her protective older brother Bill.
Younger Brother: Adam (16) the youngest of the Williams children Adam is an outdoorsman at heart. He loves to spend time in the wilderness near the town just himself, his hunting rifle, and his dog.

Are you returning to Bedford Falls? Yes
If YES where have you been? Bill has spent the last few years studying at Georgia School of Technology to become a pilot, as well as working to save up money for his own plane. He just recently finished the CPTP program and just bought his first airplane, a Piper Cub.
Thoughts on the war In Europe: Bill thinks of the war in Europe is just that, another European war, the kind of which is been going on for centuries before him and will undoubtedly continue for centuries after he's gone. A firm supporter of the America First Committee, he feels that the US should maintain true neutrality rather than taking the border-line agressive stance FDR favors and that the materials being sent to the Allies could be put to much better use at home building America's defenses.
Relationships: Bill has had a life long crush on Evelyn Jackson, though he's been to scared to admit it to anyone let alone act on it.

So begins...

Bill Williams was having the time of his life as he flew lazily over the South Carolina countryside. He had gotten up early that morning to prepare himself for this trip and now was flying his yellow Piper Cub home. Below him he could see his hometown spreading out before him. He could recognize the Welcome to Bedford Falls sign, the cars driving past it looking like little toys. It was hard to tell for certain, as he had never seen Bedford Falls from this perspective before, but the town seemed to be busier and more prosperous than the last time he'd seen it. He could clearly see the reason for this prosperity, a big ammunition plant just outside of town which had provided jobs and a much-needed economic boost for the region.

Lining up along Main Street, Bill nosed his plane over into a dive, pulling up at rooftop level and buzzing the town. There was no malicious intent in this action, and it never even occurred to him that there was even a slight chance of scaring some of the resident. Close to the center of town, Bill half noticed a young woman chasing a dog down the street, he pulled up, wiggling his wings in greeting to the people below. Gently turning as he climbed, Bill started looking for a place to land. There was no airport or airfield near the town, so this had been the biggest difficulty Bill had faced when planning his trip home, but he had found a solution. Old Man Sanders, a cantankerous old fellow who's family had lived in the area longer than anyone could remember, had agreed to let him use one of his unused fields as a runway and an old barn as a hangar. Mr. Sanders was an ornery old coot, and not particularly well liked by the rest of the town, but Bill had somehow befriended him when he was little. As Bill came into land he could see Mr. Sanders standing next to his old Model T, scowling furiously at the incoming bright yellow plane as if it was some unexpected and unwelcome visitor. As Bill touched down with a slight bump he couldn't help but laugh a little at the sight. It felt so good to be home.

Mr. Sanders had been kind enough to have the barn doors open, allowing Bill a taxi the plane right in. Hopping out of the cockpit Bill walked over to the still scowling old man.

"So that's the newfangled deathtrap your parents told me about," Sanders said gruffly.

"It's about as safe as that deathtrap of yours," Bill responded, jerking his head at the Model T. Reaching into one of the numerous pockets of his denim flight suit Bill grabbed his wallet, handing a $10 bill to Mr. Sanders. "Here's the first months rent."

Sanders harrumphed loudly. "Whatever you say you hooligan. Grab your stuff, I'll give you a ride into town."

As Sander's started his Ford, Bill headed back to his plane, grabbing a suitcase and a duffel bag from the back of it and closing the barn. Putting his luggage in the back of the car, Bill climbed into the front passenger seat and removed his leather flight helmet.

"You've never seen your folks' new place yet have you?" Bill shook his head. "I would've stayed in a proper house myself, but I guess whatever works for them." Bill's parent had moved from their house into an apartment on Main Street. The bottom floor was a small dress/laundry shop his mother ran while the top two were the families living quarters.

The short drive to down was taken in silence, something that suited the two men in the car. Bill spent most of it gazing idly up at the sky, lost in thought. They never stayed consistent, flitting from subject to subject seemingly at random, though flying and the war in Europe were the most frequent. He also couldn't help but wonder who how much the town had changed, which of his peers would be there and which wouldn't, and working what people would think of him now that he was a pilot. Or if they'd think about him differently at all. For all who knew he might forever remain that strange little guy he'd been known as in high school to his former classmates.

"Well we're here." Sanders said abruptly as he stopped the car in front of a small storefront with a simple sign reading Williams Clothing. "And lookee there. It looks like even more of you hooligans are back home. So much for a quiet summer."

His train of thought broken, Bill looked down and spotted the small group of young adults Mr. Sanders had indicated. Climbing out of the car Bill smiled and waved awkwardly in case any of them looked his way, his heart skipping a beat as he saw Evelyn Jackson was among them.

"I'll be back sometime tonight to work on a few things," Bill informed Mr. Sanders as he grabbed his stuff from the back.

"Come and go as you please. You can do most anything you want as long as you get me my rent." Putting the Model T back in gear, Mr. Sanders laid on his horn to make sure Evelyn and the others knew he was coming leaving Bill standing there on the sidewalk.

Valerie then jumped slightly when a car horned, announcing to the others that it dropped someone off. Valerie narrowed her eyes a little until she saw another familiar face, Bill. He must of had came back from flying which he normally did mostly on a daily basis. This was now or never for Valerie so she came from behind the fountain, fixing herself and hair up, walking out of the large park.

The group continued to speak to one another until Valerie walked across the street, announcing herself, "Hey everyone! It's nice to see all of you again!", she surprisingly loud. She hoped that she didn't seem too eager or nervous, keeping her cool in check. "Good thing I know how to keep myself together....", she thought trying to keep her nervous attention off of Austin who was also among the group.

"Billy!" Evelyn called out, waving to him. Waving back he walked over to the small group, deciding his luggage would be safe where it was for the moment.

"Ouch..." Bill saw another class mate, Fredrick Herrmann, walk into a pole. Billy resisted the temptation to laugh, he had done that often enough back in school. He couldn't help but smile as he listened to him stammer at Evelyn's inquiry if he was all right. He would have done the exact same thing if the situation had been reversed.

Reaching the group Bill put his hands in his pockets, his flight helmet still tucked under his arm. "So, how's everyone doing." He said conversationally to try and make sure they avoided any awkward silences.
