Bob and I went to High School at Chisholm, took many courses together as we were both looking to Engineering as a career. We were best friends and did many things together. He was great to be with, humorous, observant, kind and perseverant. Bob put me on to Control Data where I had an interesting career and I thank him for that. His father was Mayor of Chisholm and my father was City Attorney. My family had a great deal of respect for the Wheelecors and Bob lived up to their fine reputation. I regret not making effort to reach out to Bob in these later years. He was always fun to talk with.

I was a classmate of Bob's--he was a science-minded guy. Interesting that he was involved in the programs listed in his write-up-it rings true to what his interests were.
