@Walter Hinteler,
Yup. I think that over half the people I've met from A2K were at Bob & Diane's, including Walter, a few times. For one reason or another, most of the others aren't here, anymore.
@margo,
Indeed. We visited many times.
I only had one phone call
What an exceptional person. I can't believe that Bob is gone for so many years.
Not long ago, I noticed that my Facebook friends list shortened by one. It took me a month or two to realize that it was Bob's account that dropped off. I was going to post on there this morning. No matter. As long as I live he will not be forgotten.
@edgarblythe,
Amen. I think about Bob often. Getting to know him was a gift.
@blatham,
Hi Bob
I never liked you anyway, you insegrevious bastard!
: (
He was one very special individual. It was a joy to have known him.
I've been through the whole thread and there's sooooo many of the posters lost in action. Maybe 3/4 of those who posted before page 40 haven't posted in at least a half year.
Shocked and surprised. Not many of we Abuzzers still around.
@Borat Sister,
Hey d
Miss you too, even if your mother ought to have thrown you away and kept the stork.

Stopping by to pay homage once again.
For some odd reason, I was thinking of Bob just yesterday.
Dys was a wonderful guy with the best sense of humor on A2K. He is still missed.
Just yesterday, in an exchange of messages on FB with Bill Ward, I recounted a sunny summer afternoon in Albuquerque when Bob, Dianne, Jane and I (seriously baked on weed) arrived at the home of a rather disagreeable right wing dude (can't recall his name now). A very memorable trip, that one.
Bill has been fighting cancer for some years and his situation has recently become more negative. Those of you who'll remember him will know Bill as really quite a fine fellow who began his A2K life with many right wing ideas but who was both smart enough and principled enough to re-evaluate held notions. He and I never had the opportunity to meet in person to the regret of both of us. Any of you who knew him could easily find him on FB and say hello.
