Hey all,

We really think this movie is going to be a great tribute to the characters in the movie. TimeOut has just done a nice piece on the movie and there is a great picture of Bill.

One resident whom I clearly develop a special relationship with is Bill and so I thought I'd write a little...

One day I had put his interview time slot during the same slot as a woman that I knew he had a crush on. I had hooked it up—and it worked. They had been holding hands ever since. Bill was 80 and had a bad dose of dementia. But everyday he went to the Dollar Store to get candy for the other residents. He couldn’t even eat the candy because of his Diabetes. It was charity, in its purest form. Bill could hardly remember anything, long term or short term. But somehow, and it will always boggle my mind, he learned the route to the Dollar Store (he even had a few shortcuts), and everyday, bought 5 bucks worth of candy. He was fun; always horsing around, talking about women…I just had to understand that he had a special way of thinking. We would spend at least an hour in the courtyards as Bill asked me which women I thought were good-looking enough for his taste. We would arm wrestle. Make fun of each other. He loved tugging on my hair. I tapped his baldhead. Bill was slowly loosing it, but his soul never missed a beat.
