I just found out about Bob on the computer and I cried. I thought of him often throughout my life as we dated awhile when I was 17 and 18 and he was 26 and 27. We ran around with Marlin and Janice and Curt and Aileen. Just wish we could have stayed in touch, but you can e-mail me!-ok?=Linda.Lou.Welter@gmail.com ~ Linda Welter 133 Vendy St., Camden, Tn.
