Hi Lori, believe we met when you were maybe ten yrs old or so. Bob and spoke every 2/3 months, I enjoyed those so much. I am the second oldest Lucille Cain’s sons. I was schooled when I could not reach Bob and goggled him. I had spoken to him approx 2 mos ago and he was his normal self. Would love to talk to sometime if you wish. I live in Oregon
