From the B&ORR Yahoo Group:

It is with regret that I must pass on the news of the passing of William W. “Bill” Duvall of Chevy Chase, MD on June 13, 2007. Mr. Duvall was a member of the NRHS and contributed many photographs to the B&ORRHS 2007 Color Calendar.

Friends will be received at Pumphrey’s Bethesda Chevy-Chase Funeral Home June 16, 2007 from 3pm to 5pm. You can view and sign the family guest book at http://www.pumphreyfuneralhome.com

There are many of Bill’s photos up on my website in the gallery. He was a kind, generous fellow, very welcoming and supportive of what I was doing. He openly lent me access to his original slides so that I might scan them and post them online to share with everyone. He had a real knack for photography and when I visited him he gave me a slideshow or two of some of his best work. The shots I saw were jaw-droppingly awesome from a railfan’s perspective. Thank you Bill, you will be missed.
