The family of Bob Unsworth would like to thank both friends and former students who signed this guest book. Bob loved his time at Marina, especially when teaching Metal Shop. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness.

To the Family of Mr. Unsworth -

He was an amazing teacher. Anyone who had him in Metal Shop will never forget his teachings. My Condolences to your family at this sad time.

I could never forget the morning and the fast
breaking with apple doughnuts and strong coffee:
the quiet, still rapture of the deer hunt with bow and arrow
a hunt never bothered by the killing of quarry.

Bob was the skilled bank dick and memory expert who,
when you were asleep or not watching would
"modify" your shoes with the skilled application of a hatchet
forevermore easing the exit of any worrisome water.

On the whole, I'd rather you not be in Philadelphia.
