The man who wrote today\\u2019s offering only authored one story that we could find. We couldn\\u2019t find when he was born or when he died nor where he lived, until we unearthed a response he wrote to an article in Astounding Science Fiction in 1956. He wrote about \\u201croad hypnosis\\u201d and how it can cause accidents. He suggested several solutions including the use of radar to warn the driver that he is getting close to another motorist. Radar wouldn\\u2019t be used for more than 30 years in Japanese vehicles and high end cars in the US and Europe wouldn\\u2019t use radar for more than 40 years after Willard brought it up in Astounding Science Fiction Magazine.

We also learned that at the time he was a news photographer and he gave his address as, Box 262, Yalesville, Connecticut.
