That means there's a good probabilty that I made the frame. If before '84 when I joined, it would probably have been Frank Kaplan. Then Frank and I overlapped for a bit, then Frank moved on, I forget when, probably '85. After that I made all the customs, until '94 when I left.
By '84 when I started, Bill was mostly gone out of the frame shop, mostly front office. The time he did spend in the frame shop was stuff like making tools, coming up with processes, QC. Little to no work on individual frames.
Good times.
