I was sadden to learn of Robert's death. Evelyn,I know that Bob would want you reflect on the joyful times and not linger in the state of morning. i have nothing but pleasant memories of working with Bob during the mid seventies and the early eighties.
Although I did not meet Leonard,Bob informed me that he lived in Atlanta at one time. I only heard Bob mention his children.
