Had one of my favorite people on the podcast today. Bill Robertson. I've known Bill for more than 30 years and he worked for me for at least 15.

Bill's got an amazing story. He moved to Albuquerque in 1950, and he was an English teacher for 30 years He even taught a young Bob Gallegos, a native arts dealer who's also been on the podcast so that tells you how long Bill's been around. 

He started collecting pottery in the early sixties, and knew all these amazing people like Charles Loloma, Garnet Pavatea, Lucy Lewis, Maria Martinez, and even rented a house from Helen Naha, also known as "Feather Woman." In 1968 where he spent an entire summer in Hopi working on many different academic projects.

So this was a very interesting conversation with a wonderful human being. Bill Robertson on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast Episode 240.
