No End to an Era
In articles in Acoustics Today honoring prominent mem- bers of our Society (see https://bit.ly/3HC1udm), their retirement has sometimes been talked of as marking the end of an era. This does not apply to Bill. After 50 years of steady scholarly contributions and continuous service to the advancement of our science, he shows no sign of slowing down. In those 50 years, we have seen tremendous progress in our understanding of human sound source perception, in large part thanks to Bill. For those impor- tant questions that remain, all indications are that he will continue to be on the forefront of the research providing answers. In a recent special session of the Acoustical Soci- ety of America honoring Bill, the title of the first speaker’s talk asked, “Does He Ever Sleep?” You might say he does but hasn’t made a habit of it. Our science is better for the tireless efforts of Bill and for that we are most thankful.
