William Guy Thilgen Jr. (Billl) is a 66 year young retired former native of St. Paul (East Side), Minnesota U.S.A. commonly known as the Twin Cities. Now living in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. William is the middle child of seven, with three older half-sisters, two younger brothers and a baby sister. William attributes his imagination and story-telling ability to the fact that, like most children during his youth, he grew up in a large family in a small house with no room to play indoors. Most children of that era grew up playing outdoors. He and his friends would spend hours and hours outside finding things to do, and on occasion making up our own adventures. As he aged he came to view life as series of adventures. It was on one such adventure in the winter of 1994. He met Patte!
