Bob and I both attended Westminster Fellowship meetings and events together during our years at The Citadel. We had different majors and were in different barracks so had little contact other than at these meetings and events. I was privileged to serve as President of the group during our senior year and was very appreciative of his efforts to be of assistance whenever possible. He did that even though he many responsibilities in the leadership roles he had in the Corps and in other school activities.
