William N. Muster (June 18, 1926 to January 3, 1989) was a photographer, publisher, and marketing executive in Los Angeles.

After the war, he attended the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, on the GI Bill, and earned his degree in journalism in 1950.
Bill became an orphan in Chicago during the Great Depression.
Although he remained in contact with his half-brother, he never learned of his ancestry.
