+<title>Bill Wattenburg’s Background: Hobbies</title>
+</head>

+<h1>Hobbies</h1>
+
+<p>Wattenburg is an avid tennis player. He has played in many celebrity tennis tournaments
+around the country with his friends from Hollywood. He says that the decision as to where he
+travels nowadays depends a lot on where the sun is shining and where there is a tennis court. (We
+had to wait two hours at the Berkeley Tennis Club for the first interview we got with him.)</p>
+
+<p>Access to tennis courts will certainly be an important consideration to him before working in
+another city. We recommend that guaranteed membership in a first-class tennis club be part of
+any offer made to him.</p>
+
+<p>In the summertime, he still runs the bulldozers he learned to operate when he worked with his
+father in the logging woods years ago. He spends two to three weeks average each year fighting
+forest fires as a bulldozer operator (Catskinner) on the west coast with U.S. Forest Service
+firefighting crews. A U.S. Forest Service Supervisor in Plumas County, Calif., told us that,
+“There are not many old pros like him left anymore who can chase a forest fire on a bulldozer in the night
+over mountains so rugged that you can’t walk on them.” He said, “I mean fire crews won’t go
+where he takes a bulldozer. This guy attacks a fire just like it was trying to kill his kids. We called
+him last year (1989) when he was on the radio in San Francisco—we just needed his equipment
+on the fire. He was on the fire himself four hours later.”</p>
+
+<p>Wattenburg keeps two large bulldozers specially equipped for fire fighting at his ranch in
+northern California. He mentioned to us that nothing makes him so sad as to see the last of our
+virgin forests go up in smoke. There was anger in his voice when he told us that a lot of the
+heavy equipment operators nowadays (he called them hard-hat executives) just sit back and let a
+fire go until it changes course on its own and burns itself out. “Then they brag about how they
+bravely stopped this ten-thousand acre fire.” (We found him running a bulldozer when we
+interviewed him the second time at his ranch in Northern California. He gave one of us, who
+never learned to drive a car, a lesson on the bulldozer.)</p>
