Bob, can't count the number of years we shared at Beulah Brinton. You were one of the corner stones of that Center. You do now know what an impact you made in the lives of the young people you touched. With golf, basketball and being the field attendant. You will be sorely missed by your friends at St. Augustine, Beulah Brinton "elders" and Bay View people.
