Did he do "Tap's Tips?"
Regardless, I hate to see these icons, or semi-icons, depending on how you feel, go under.

A very good friend of his, Phillip Craig died about a year ago. They wrote a few books togather, with the story taking place on Martha's Vineyard. Both were among mt favorite authors.

I just read his essay "Invisible Writing" on his website. Great stuff.

William G. Tapply died Tuesday 28 July 2009, but his written words still instruct and delight. A sample of his articles is available on www.williamgtapply dot com. I believe that he was a master of the writer's craft.
