I just saw Bob's obituary. Thank you, Bill, for finding and posting the WAR STORY video.

I knew Bob as a performer and one of the core members of FSGW. A novice banjo player with slight talent (me) would hear from Bob -- "Try an Am there...", but he had the caring and skill to say it in a way that the novice could hear and heed.

The incident that popped into my mind is a slight one: In the early 1980s he was somehow involved in a project to utilize a venue called (I think) "DC Space", and I volunteered to help. DC Space was sort of depressing. Our job was to schlep the FSGW sound system in and out. Not too exciting, but Bob was cheerful and matter-of-fact. As I was toting a speaker out to the van, it occurred to me that this wasn't his first or last time on such work, usually cheerful and matter-of-fact. I still aspire to a similar attitude, and Bob is my model.
