Dear Bob:
Thanks for the great post about Mom’s Canoe. I am glad that you liked the book. Guess what, that really IS my mom in her canoe on the cover! Not clip art, the real deal.

Haven’t touched bases with you for far too long. Spent an hour reading some fine work on CBR and a few of your blog listings. Hope you remain well, active and creative.

Sent you an email earlier today with some photos I took of Bob doing his morning show Oct 1985; I just wanted to follow up via this venue so you didn’t think the email was a scam. Cheers,
