William W. Treat was able to sit still. While others would have been happy to succeed in any one of his multifarious professions, Bill Treat carried on in a number of careers simultaneously, making, as he went, significant contributions to the American scene —in law, politics, banking, diplomacy and elsewhere.

He was a judge, an author, an accomplished speaker and lecturer, a family man, president and owner of a bank, a world traveler, a politician, an ambassador to the United Nations, a friend of presidents and a confidante of world leaders. William Treat lived much of his life in Stratham, NH and died in 2010.
