 As
white winter daylight filters through the large window beside him,
Bill Gray’s steady stream of talk stops for a moment. It’s
the first sign of hesitation in at least an hour, and the furrow
dug through his usually smooth, easy brow suggests he’s thinking
hard about the question before him: If you wrote a book based on
what you’ve learned in your life, what would it be?
When it does come, his answer is delivered with the same strength
of conviction maintained throughout a lengthy conversation at the
kitchen table of his country home overlooking the St. Lawrence River.
“I would write about human potential and finding ways for
people to work together and accomplish huge things. We often don’t
give ourselves credit for our strengths and the kinds of things
that we’re capable of doing,” says the “more or
less” retired financial advisor. With his boyish earnestness
and carefully parted hair, he looks and acts more like an idealistic
Jimmy Stewart . . .
