Chilly's Nick

Story behind the nick:

Shirley! A round for the bar. The real story behind my handle ...

Mackinaw Island, MI, 1975. Hello, my names Bill ... Just got hired as a night cook at the Island House Hotel and I'm introduced to my co-worker, Bill who worked winters in Breckenridge,CO along with a bunch of others. I says "This is trouble, how about we call you Wild Bill?" He says "Fine, and we'll call you Chilly Willy!" Then he yelled over to another of the Breckenridge crowd and asks "Doesn't he remind you of Chilly Willy?"

The other guy looks me over real carefully, and says "No. He ain't black enough!" I've been Chilly ever since.
