Celebrating Bill Drew through his writings in Rye Reflections


​Bill Drew was a founding and active member of the New Castle Historical Society. A scientist and entrepreneur, he founded his company in 1969, Automation Systems, Inc. During his youth he spent summers in New Castle and retired here in later years. An incredibly active member of the community, he was also passionate about history, and spent years drumming up enthusiasm, researching and writing articles about local history.
