The plans he has drawn are equal to anything anyone has done - Steve Buso quality. He has also made some museum quality static ship models, a la Cutty Sark (10,000 knots anyone?). Although his current modeling activities favor the more relaxed pursuit of old time S.A.M. R/C flying he still shows up around contest time to help out, judge, or just to visit. One of the greats!

Bob is a h#ll of a nice guy, an awesome builder, and darn fine stunt judge. I've missed him lately 'cause he just hasn't been around much.

Sorry to here that Bob isn't doing Stunt that much any more. I hope his health is doing well! Also, Mike and I used to stop by Bob's house in Fairfield on the way to contest in Santa Rosa and Napa.
