Now retired, Williams is the historian of Excelsior, Minnesota and Lake Minnetonka. In Good Luck he tells stories of two boys growing up influenced by small town life, family, school, church, radio, movies, and the grand Excelsior Amusement Park, where dare-devil, Captain Jack Rogers made his spectacular high dives.
