Hi Jerry,
A well written and thoughful note.........
While we're reminicing(sp) about our dealings with Bob over the years, this one always comes to my mind as it was repeated MANY times over the years by Bob.
After trading chips worth HUNDREDS of dollars, he'd say to me " see, you just gave me $20 (face) and I gave you $30 (face).....you got the better deal today!"
I'd vote for a special induction to our "Hall of Fame" for Bob because of his many "firsts"
First one to open a store dealing with obsolete chips for our hobby.
First one to think of "meetings" for our chapter....even though Colorado may have been the first chapter. I still remember the first meeting in the rear of the Ocean One Mall.
Probably the MOST wins for recruter of the year....he brought many into the hobby and will be sorely missed!
Steve
