Date: 1955

Bill and Dave met for the first time at Stanford’s freshman football tryouts, but they became close as upperclassmen, through a mutual friend and future vice president at Hewlett-Packard, Noel “Ed” Porter (center, with Dave to his right). Porter also served as mayor of Palo Alto from 1955–1960.
