Bob and a group of us from church had sooo much fun! What an infectious laugh he had. We were in TARS (Teens Aid the Retarded...not accepted terminology now!) together as well.Tres Ross
iI remember Bob worked at Radio Shack on 7th across from Montgomery Wards. I bought a complete stero set from Bob. Speakers, Turntable, and AM FM Tuner that lasted years. It even got to Antarctica with me. All of it was stolen in a house burglary 11 years later. Who would steal an 11 year old Radio Shack stero set ? I also remember playing golf with him at the Carswell Golf Course before it went public . Sorry we can’t play another round
