Let the Billy Chips fall where they may...An Update

Remember this guy?

I posted about him here. Well, out of the blue, I received an email from a gal named Marilyn. Here's what it said:

Googling for fun - Williams Potato Chips....there you were talking about my family's company. The Billy that you are in love with is my brother who was featured in the ads in about 1950. The original bags actually had a photograph of him rather than a drawing. Thought you might like to see a couple more memorable pictures.


Then it got even better...Billy sent me a recent photo and a message! He wrote:

Thought you might be interested to see what the ravages of time and Jack Daniels can do.

So, if ingesting massive amounts of potato chips leads to owning a sweet motor boat and looking exactly like Sean Connery, I say...Go ahead, eat the chips!
