• William James Price

  

  In Memory of Bill Price

   Physicist, educator, author, dedicated peace activist, and major contributor

  to the Festival Center's Hemker-Price Library named in his honor

   Bill Price, a gentle giant of a man who heeded the call to work for peace in our world has transitioned from labor to reward.  His memorial service was held at the Wellspring Conference Center in Germantown, Maryland, July 10, 2010. Family members and friends paid tribute to Bill's kindness and generosity.  Many talked about his integrety, honesty, and work ethic that produced a man of high credtials who understood the higher calling of working for world peace.  There were many funny stories of Bill's lack of driving skills, and fond memories of being able to build almost anything with his hands.  Bill graciously donated a large book collection to the Festival Center's library and in his honor, the library was renamed to the Hemker-Price World Peacemaker Library at the Festival Center.  Please click on the article title to see Bill's obituary.
