Abstract
William Roberts describes his involvement with Company B, a social club formed by members of the military unit Company B 1407 Combat Engineers after they retired. Mr. Roberts and his friend Jack Hill were both part of Company B during their military service, and after retiring, they started the social club to provide scholarships and educational opportunities for younger students. The interview covers the history of Company B, both the military unit and the social club, as well as Roberts' long-standing friendship with Jack Hill, whom he has known since childhood. Roberts describes Hill as an "outstanding individual" who is reliable, loyal, and devoted to the causes he supports. The interview also touches on the community work the Company B social club was involved in, such as supporting members who were ill. Overall, the transcription provides a detailed account of the history and impact of Company B, as well as the close personal relationship between Mr. Roberts and Jack Hill.
