Tim met Sir William in 1985 at his home in Bermuda "he showed me how an individual could make a difference. Even then, at the age of 89, he was brilliant. At any given moment he could tell you how many troops the Cubans had sent the previous week to Angola or how many tanks the Soviets had sent to Nicaragua, because his global intelligence system was still fully operational. Congressmen and senators were constantly calling for advice." Sir William was a friend of Tim's father. Tim had the honour of visiting with him a number of times.
