My sympathy to Donna and family in the loss of Robert. It was so great to meet you in my Guildner/Gueldner family research and to keep in contact with you through the years.
Please keep in touch. The family history goes on!! Marlys Guildner

I'll never forget how Mr. Gueldner faithfully moved Lori & I in and out of our Madison apartments every year! Our freshman year, the building manager turned off the elevators during move-out week. (he said it was a malfunction, but I'm pretty sure it was payback for student vandalism! -- Lori & I are innocent tho! I think). Mr. G lugged a refrigerator, a stereo and about 1000 lbs of books down 4 flights of stairs. We'd always end with a good dinner and a couple of pilsners!

Of all the memories, my favorite was the look on his face on Lori & Brian's wedding day.

I love you Mr. G!

Bob and I were "study buddies" @ SIU in the 1960's as we worked on our Master's degree.We've kept in touch via cards and since the age of the "web" by Emails. I have many pleasant memories of our times @SIU. We always ended our study sessions by trying to out do each other in making and flying paper airplanes. Donna, please accept our sincere sympathy on your loss.
