I enjoy meeting and greeting everyone I cross paths with in Frankfurt, but none more than Bill Newlin. Bill is Senior Vice President and Publishing Director of Avalon Publishing Group which includes the Moon Handbooks, though to me he is much more than that. Bill is responsible for getting me into publishing. He introduced me to Magnus Bartlett of Odyssey Publications with whom and along with Chris Burt I set up Compass American Guides, now wholly owned by Random House, NY. But even before that Bill and I Published a magazine together while in college together in the United States. Today he is still an inspiration to me and a close and cherished friend.
