<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">William was born in Mercedes, TX on October 12, 1951. In 1974 he graduated with majors in Chemistry, Biology and Psychology from Texas Lutheran College. He received his MPH from the University of Texas, School of Public Health in 1975 and his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Dakota in 1980. He taught at the University of Washington from 1980 through 1986 and then accepted a position at the Mayo Clinic. Bill authored several books on treatment of sexually abused children and has published over 130 articles and multiple chapters on the evaluation and treatment of maltreated children and their parents. His book, “Psychological Assessment of Sexually Abused Children and their Families,” was published in 2001, and his book “Treating Children with Sexual Behavior Problems” is currently in press with W.W. Norton, featuring his son’s artwork on the cover! He developed the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory published by PAR (</FONT><A HREF="file://www.parinc.com"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Times New Roman">www.parinc.com</FONT></U></A><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">) and was a Diplomat with the American Board of Professional Psychology in both Clinical and Family Psychology. Bill was awarded an Outstanding Career Research Award by APSAC in 2001. From 1997 through 2002, he was a core faculty member of the Eastern European Children’s Mental Health Society, and served a Fulbright Fellowship in Latvia in 2003. In 2005 he received the Mayo Medical Faculty Service Award. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">National and international travel was one of Bill’s favorite hobbies. Reading and writing short stories were other passions of his. He appreciated all forms of nature and was especially fond of bird watching and riding his bike on trails across Minnesota. Additionally, Bill was very politically aware and a good Minnesota liberal through and through.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Survivors include his wife Wanda, daughter Hannah (Eric Refsell), and son Karl. A daughter, Lydia Adrianna, preceded him in death. He was a fantastic father and husband and enthusiastic supporter of the arts. Bill was well respected by his friends and colleagues. He is immeasurably missed. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">It is Bill’s wish that all memorials be directed to Franconia Sculpture Park. </FONT>
