Johnnie & Mary have known Bob for many many years, from the 1950's when he was such a great athlete. We remember Bob getting so many points in a game, that we yelled in the stands, "Allord Beat Eureka". There will never be another Athlete such as he was.

Had the priviledge of watching him play basketball. A very nice guy.
