A bit of a bio on my friend Bill O'Brien. I'm still searching for any old news about their disappearances and the searches, though.

O'BRIEN, Bill
Bill O'Brien was born in Princeton in July of 1943. The son of a miner, he went to school at Tsolum on Vancouver Island, at John Oliver High in Vancouver and at Como Lake High before attending Everett College on a football scholarship. He also played defensive end for the UBC Thunderbirds. His 1969 novel, Summer of the Black Sun (November House, 1969), features a protagonist named Billy Louper in the Green Lawn Mental Institution (Riverview Mental Hospital) narrating a memoir about high school athletics, his medical student days and his incarceration. O'Brien had a varied work background before becoming a Vancouver realtor.
