Hello! It was a pleasure to work with, and get to know Bob at IBM in the early 1990s and at Spanish River Church! (we have attended Boca Raton Community Church since 2007). Bob told interesting stories and had an interesting life story even before joining IBM. The time frame I worked with Bob were my favorite years at IBM. Also, congratulations on being married almost 50 years.
