My late husband, Jim Thomas, knew Bob from childhood in Spokane. They both attended Stanford. It was about three months after Bob's passing that my husband succumbed to cancer. I felt fortunate to have met Bob and his wife Pat, and have the opportunity to view Bob's works of art and jewelry. Although I didn't know him well, he certainly found a place in my heart which I'll always cherish.

I have fond memories of Bob growing up in Spokane over seventy years, from Hutton School, LC, through Stanford, Chi Psi, Boston and Palo Alto. Always my pal and my hero...Jim
