Mr. Bill was Bill Norwood, who doubled as weatherman on Ch. 13. The show was called Mr. Bill's Workshop, and later Mr. Bill's World.
I (and everyone I knew) watched many a- times as I waited on the school bus, and especially in the dead of winter we watched closely to see the lists of school closings!
They always got more snow, etc. up in the mountains. Lucky finks...
I remember very well watching Mr. Bill every morning. It was a tradition growing up and nearly all the other kids my age watched it every morning too. I enjoyed watching the cartoons, the three stooges, the weather report, and also especially waiting on Bill Norwood to announce the school closings on snowy winter mornings. I would sit there with such anxiety waiting for Bill Norwood to say those magic words "Buncombe County Schools. Closed. Teacher's Workday." LOL
