I, Bill R. Tomison, was born on 16 October, in Portland, Oregon. I am a television news producer.
Along with my father and his father and surely several past others, I share the name William Tomison with an ancestor from the Orkney Islands in the very north of Scotland, who later worked extensively in Canada with the then-forming Hudson's Bay Company. On my mother's side, my ancestry connects to William Brewster, a Mayflower passenger.
