William (Bill) Walsh was inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame in 2007 for his service to South Dakota through multiple forms of outreach. Bill has served five parishes as an ordained catholic priest and teacher; he has helped shape prison reform in the state; he served in positions with Social Services for the Black Hills and West River Mental Health Services; he formed the Black Hills Forum and Press Club; and he has helped restore Deadwood to its old west appearance.
Bill sat down with the Hall’s Board Chair, Marci Burdick during the 2022 Honors Ceremony, to talk about his life and legacy in South Dakota.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Bill’s early years as a catholic priest
- The path that led him from the church to the wild west of Deadwood
- How he has helped shape conversation through community in western South Dakota
“Seven people in any community can turn it around,” stated Bill, as he reflected on community leadership and what it took to revitalize Deadwood.
