He did janitorial work in old Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), helping to launch a Maine alliance and setting up fa mily support organizations "from Madawaska to Portland." For three years he served on the NAMI's national board of directors.

Wilson is still passionate about the need for social services and compassion. Progress in treating mental illness, particularly brain research, has been impressive in recent years, and services in Waterville are pretty good ; "but there's a lot of things about the system I'd wa nt to see changed ," he said. "There are still too many stigmas." Though much of the progress in Waterville can be laid at his feet, Wilson says he repeatedly declined to serve on the board of the Kennebec Valley Mental Health Center.
