Quotes:
David
Medaris. Isthmus Publishing, 2007: "Quite a number of amazing boats
came out of that Willy Street garage workshop. Works of art on the
cutting edge of craft and design, including many skeeters that Mattison
himself would sail to speeds in excess of 100 MPH."
Peter Harken: Harken, Inc., 2010: Bill was my
ice boating mentor and builder for 30 years having spent countless
hours with he
and Paul in Bill's shop. He is the foremost icon of ice boating and the
most
generous man giving all of himself without renumeration that I have
ever met.
He has no equal and I doubt we will ever see another, a true fantastic
legend!!
Congratulations
Bill! You are a true champion!
