He had a white bird that sat on his shoulder sometimes his head. He also drank mint juleps with my parents. His house was always interesting to explore. I remember him always smiling.

It has been years since last seening Bob. Back in the 70's we would often have breakfast with Emily at the Paradise cafe. Bob also had great Vespers parties and made a great Povitisa. I am saddened by his death.
