DENTINGER continued
Employers Association Industry Advancement Program.
Nationally, Bill has served the Mason Contractors Association of America on various committees since the mid-sixties, and was named Outstanding Committee Chairman of the Year for 1973 for his work as chairman of the Safety Committee. He was a regional vice president from 1975 until his election as secretary in February, 1980, a post he held until his recent election as vice president.
Bill and his wife, Shirley Jean, have four children: Peggy, 21; Bill, 20; Dick, 19; and Kathy, 11. While totally devoted to his wife, children, business and the masonry industry in that order, philosophically Bill seeks the "lighter" side of every situation, and sees no reason why hard work and serious efforts can't be fun. He relaxes in a corner with a very old Gibson guitar and country music, and has great difficulty turning down a friendly game of poker or an hour of mixed-doubles tennis.
