He was certainly a "big man on campus"at C.U. back in 1966-67. I greatly admired his writings in the Colorado Daily.

I am sorry to learn of Bob's passing. He was Robert to those of us who were on High School with him! We graduated together in 1963. I will be praying for comfort and peace for all of his family.
