I screwed up really badly about 15 years ago. Bob was living across the street from Terry Sayther and I went over an had a long talk with him. He was suffering from advanced diabetes and had had one leg--at least--removed, so was in a wheel chair. I got the OK to come back and do an audio interview with him but somehow never got it together to get back over there before he died. I've regretted that ever since. --Ediger
