ROBERT WHITBREAD

Lynn and Drake - I am so happy you shared a friendship with my Uncle Whit. Love to you both, Susan

Drake and I often have conversations about you and how nice you were to both of us.

Kristen-if you happen to see this message, would you please remember me to your brother Geoff. I became Geoff when he spent some time at the Staudermans house in Cranbury, NJ. After Geoff returned home to Vienna, I took a trip with Mrs Stauderman And Cheryl to deliver a goat. We were in a station wagon. The goat rode in the very back. The car broke down in DC and had to he towed! Quite the experience for an 8 year old. This was over 50 years ago. I have fond memories of Geoff and I still tell...

Dad, you well know there is never a day...

(Rereading what others wrote at the time brings me great pleasure three years hence. - Thank you to whomever else may see this.)

Drake still talks about the fun we had with you. You will never know, but you left a lasting impression on a young man.

Yesterday was a glorious Vermont day reminding me of your spirit - today is grey and drizzly, a mirror of mine.
Love you Dad.
Kristen

What a wonderful man Bob was - kind, caring, modest, always good-humored, smart, patriotic, and interesting. He was my first friend and mentor in the Agency, the first experienced Agency case officer to take an interest in me. I wish I had the chance to serve overseas with him since I am sure that no one could have possibly absorbed more of the culture, habits, and mindset of the "locals" of any country than Bob - to say nothing about mastering the local language. He was the perfect...

My sincere condolences to Bob's family. I will miss his smile and our humorous jousting waiting for OLLI history classes to start. Godspeed, my friend!
