I don't remember where I first read about Project 2996, but I signed up immediately. I have the honor of writing this tribute to William E. Wilson.
I didn't personally know William, but I've spent quite a bit of time over the last few weeks researching him and looking for clues about the man and his life. Details are sparse, but I do know that he was working at the World Trade Center on 9/11.
He was a marine insurance broker for Aon Corporation, and I believe he worked in Tower 2. Aon Corp occupied all of floors 98 to 105, as well as the 92nd floor. Aon had about 1,100 people in that building, and 176 of them died on that day.
William was 55 years old (58 according to some accounts), and his home was listed as the city itself. I can't imagine what it would be like to live in a city like New York, or to work in a building like the WTC.
I've read that he played golf, and to celebrate his 50th birthday he and his wife went on a golf cruise, where every day they would play a round of golf on a different island.
If William was a "turn the other cheek" kind of guy, I'd hope that he would understand the smouldering rage that I have for the perpetrators and conspirators of that vile attack. Like so many others that day, William E. Wilson was randomly murdered for reasons that only the uncivilized or insane might understand.
William, you've been in my thoughts a lot lately, as has your family. May you rest in peace, and may your family find peace as well.
Update: Be sure to visit Dawson's Danube, and his excellent tribute. Bill also drew William Wilson on the second go-round, and managed to uncover much more information about the man than I was able to.

I just wanted to stop by and say hi because I was the other blogger (in the second set) who got Bill Wilson. Thanks to the fact that we both got him, I've now gotten to know your site, and I really enjoy it, particularly because you spent some time in Germany (I live in Austria), you are obviously interested in aircraft and the Air Force, etc. I particularly liked your entries and links concerning Flugtag. Via you I visited Mr. Roland Fuchs's site. That was painful and gut-wrenching -- though touching and worthwhile -- reading.
Anyway, keep up the great work and I'll enjoy stopping by often.
Take care,
Bill Dawson
