For whatever reason, last night I had a dream about Bob, and our days at Harrison Technical High School. In that dream was an good friend of Bob's, Max Jacobson. Together, I remember them being members of a number of activities, however, what I remember most was Bob being the Herald Sports Editor, and his love for bowling. Vivid and fond memories remain.
