I consider it a great honor that I joined the New England Electric Auto
Association (NEEAA) when Bob was president of the chapter. The meetings
were held at his house and he always cooked up a rockin' chili. The
collection of odds-and-ends and vehicles at his place was always very
interesting. And he told great stories--full of those malapropisms. He
was a master at that.
Someone brought a cheap, small, chinese-built electric scooter to one of
the meetings and it was quite amusing watching Bob take it for a test
drive. For those who never met him, Bob was a huge guy. I guess about 6'
4" and probably 300 pounds. We were fairly amazed that the scooter
didn't collapse and more amazed that the little 500watt motor was
actually able to move him around quite well.

Bob Rice used to call them "Trojan Teakettles." ;-)
I do indeed miss Bob Rice. He couldn't speak a sentence that didn't
include some colorful saying or witty malapropism.
We each could tell countless stories about Bob Rice.....
