WELCOME TO WILLY'S WONDERFUL WORLD



I am trying my best to keep the layout of my web page simple and well organized so you don't get lost. This webpage has been in existence since October, 1996 in one place or another. Please be patient with me; I am constantly working on improving this webpage. I hope you enjoy the show.


WHO IS THIS "WILLY" CHARACTER?

I am Willy (Paul), KB0P. I used to live in AURORA, MINNESOTA. In 2003, I moved to ISHPEMING, MICHIGAN. During the day I have a job, but during the evenings and weekends, I have hobbies. To learn what my interests include, check out my website.

Many people have asked me where the name "Willy" came from. Well, my middle name is William and I was given the nickname "Willy" in high school because there were 4 Pauls in my graduating class. But you can call me either "Willy" or "Paul".

If you have any questions about my website PLEASE click here to email me. Your input is greatly appreciated.
