Bob Cahn aka "Mr. Cahn" most of my early life, was a big part of my family's life. When Angie (my Mom's best friend, his wife & mother of his 4 kids) and Bob (my Dad's Frat Brother) were in the country (as they traveled for his work quite a bit), their home base was Vienna, VA which is about 8 minutes from where my parents lived. Therefore we had many holiday celebrations and birthdays together...I wish I had a photo handy! Bob also crewed with my Dad & I on our Lightning sailboat we raced on a regular basis over the years.
The Cahn"kids", who are still my friends today, myself, my sister & brother ran around at gatherings together and learned to pick Maryland Blue crabs at events.
I'm so glad to stay in touch with Adele, his youngest daughter (we went to college together) and through her, Andrea, Tracey & Jeff, to reminisce about all the awesome times we had!
Bob & his family were an integral part of my childhood and I'll forever be grateful to have so many happy memories ~
Rest in eternal Peace Mr. Bob Cahn
