Robert E. Merchant

My dear Woodie,
Wish I had known Bob better but here is how I did know him: when I would ask you about him, a huge grin would appear and in your eyes I could see reflected the great love for him you carried always. Yesterday, I mentioned to Reverend Tuttle that in the Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man gets this message:

the world has lost another great merchant...
he will be missed. thinking of all of you, love, MOOZ

Woodie--

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. You two were a great team, I was always appreciative of his wisdom and advice.
