More on Bill

We here at The Packer have received several responses from industry veterans who enjoyed seeing the recent Q and A with Bill Coon, retired publishing director of The Packer. Industry leaders like Ed Odron, Rick Bella, Chuck Curl, David Marguleas and Ron Orr have checked in with kind words about Bill.

One letter from Ron Orr, director of business development for Graves Menu Maker Foods, Jefferson City, Mo., said it well.

"I know I speak for so many in stating that the fresh produce industry at large is appreciatively better off and further ahead, because of the commitment Bill Coon made to it."

If any other industry friend wants to connect with Bill, shoot me an email (tkarst@thepacker.com) and I'll give you his contact info.
