Name Sake |
Downey Dawson and Euzell "Speed" Dawson, in separate conversations on 21 March 1992, said that William would take to singing at the top of his lungs when strolling the streets of 1920's Dinuba. At the time, the family was embarrassed by the singing. William's exuberance was evidently not brought on by drinking--"he just felt like singing!"
