You may be thinking of Bill's mentor Fred Ashworth from whom he acquired the nursery. I suspect that Bill was around at the beginning, but I'm not sure I would call him a founder except chronologically. I have been a member most of the time since 1976 but I am not a central person. The founders to my mind are the people like Fred Ashworth, Fred Janson, Robert Kurle and Milo Gibson.
I have a high opinion of Bill MacKentley but he tends to be short of time. I suspect that at times his record-keeping may fall short of perfection, and it could be that not all his employees met requirements.
You may recall that his listing as cold-hardiness consultant said "don't e-mail, phone."

If someone at his farm shipped out some crap plants, I can't believe he authorized it.
I've had decent response.
Jim; I think you must have caught them at a bad time.
Always call, if anyone omits plant size.
BTW:
'row run' is secret code for 'little tiny piece of shit' plant.
