What the yearbook said
We all remember Bob for his curly blonde hair and deviltry in class. Success came to Bob by way of the cinder track and roads through the woods, which he burned up in cross country races. We find Bob has a secret lust for travel which came to the surface when he and Hattie Holman appeared in Washington, D. C. in the spring of “37”. Remember, Bob?
