One of Billy's famous sayings was, "My claim to fame..." So, what is Billy's claim to fame? Was it his Edsel, his colorful stories about his life and the Roberts family, or his generosity to share Roberts family history and heirlooms with others? Was his "claim to fame" his service in the Navy, his family, or his love for his wife Ella Mae? Was his "claim" growing up in Rock Springs, and living with and close to Grandpa & Grandma Roberts (Isaac(10) & Janet(16)) What is Billy's claim to fame?
