  • William H. Thompson III

    William Henry Thompson III, of Whipple, Ohio, was taken by pancreatic cancer on March 25, 2019. He was born March 3, 1962, in Pella, Iowa, and spent his early years in a rickety farmhouse with room to roam. His family spent nine glorious years in Pella with many dear friends. It’s said that Billy’s first word was “junco,” and the first bird he remembered seeing through binoculars at age six was a snowy owl.The Thompsons moved to Marietta, Ohio, in 1971; Bill’s dad (Bill Thompson, Jr.) went to work at Marietta College, and his mom Elsa joined a local bird watching group, the Betsey Birders. Over time, Bill and his brother Andy’s interest in birds surged, and their weekly bird watching excursions with Marietta Times nature columnist Pat Murphy enhanced their skills tremendously.In 1978, the family launched Bird Watcher’s Digest in their living room on Warren Street with family friend Bill Sheppard. Elsa’s passion for birds combined with her husband’s journalism background made the magazine a success. Bill III graduated from Marietta High School in 1980, with the Lt. Richard N. Christy Leadership award for many accomplishments, including his work as editor of the school newspaper and his service as President of the Marietta High School Band.
