I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Bob only one time, at the 2008 Texas Packard Meet in Salado. He gave one of the technical presentations. He also got the award for a participant who drove the longest distance. His grandson accompanied him on the trip, and won one of the big door prizes. In our conversation he talked about a problem dealer in Montana that he had to deal with when he first started his career with Packard as a "Road Man". I mentioned to him that there was a '56 Packard at the show that still had that Montana dealer's emblem on the trunk. Quite a coincidence. I was looking for him at this year's meet but learned that he was ill and could not attend. I was impressed with his manner and knowledge. He had a real enthusiasm for Packards.
