During one of our first meetings, Bill said to me : « Iremel, do what you think is the best, but over all, never forget that the essential values of this place (Château de Berne) have to be quality and conviviality ». This notion of requirement and permanent search for quality in a freedom of action of each moment never left me and I regularly thinck back to this exchange which marked the beginning of a beautiful page of my own life, I owe you Bill. Today we experience deep and sincere grief. Bill had seduced us with his charisma, his lively intelligence, his humor, his generosity, qualities that have never wavered. All his friends and all the actions he led can testify, like « Morning Star » with Linda by his side. As I said, I really appreciated the kindness and the confidence he gave me when we launched together the first entertainment programs and shows at Château de Berne. We loved these few moments shared during our meetings, most of the time with a drink in hand. For all these reasons and simply because we loved Bill, today we feel unspeakable pain and already an absence. We think very hard of him, of Linda, of Andy, of Janey Iremel & Jacqueline
