I got an e-mail this week from Tuscan Women Cook sharing the news that Bill Sutherland, one of the founders, had died in Texas where he and Patty moved after selling the business in Montefollonico.
I never met Bill but I remember him as the first person on Slowtalk who responded to my first request on the forum. I'd never posted on any forum before, I didn't really know what to expect and I'd asked some rather specific questions about the train station in Chiusi Scalo. Bill answered in great detail and went on to help me with several other questions about the area. He was pretty much my entree into that wonderful community, from which I learned so much and met so many great people and fellow travelers.
