02/05/04 Terry Kelleher Bill Chevalier was a most interesting man.  Like many returning combat veterans of World War ll life as a civilian was an adjustment with boredom  During World War ll Bill was a combat Fighter Pilot.  He flew a Lockheed P-38 an aircraft the German Luftwaffe pilots called "The Fork-Tailed Devil."  Chevlier was also a very good Bowler.
