I attended Penn State in the 70's and used to hang out with these guys. I was trying to learn banjo and fiddle at the time, and they were very tolerant of my musical attempts. I had no idea they ever recorded any albums, how cool! There was a lot of old-time and folk music being played at State College at that time. PSU lirbrary had a collection of Alan Lomax field recordings that I would listen to while studying there. I play mandolin now, and I still play some of the songs I learned from Bob. I remember Bob and Matthew, and wish them the best if they're still around!
