One of the people I really liked knowing and sorry i lost all connections after just being glad to be done with school and shaving and haircuts. It was only in 1977 (or 78) that I got another haircut and cut off beard once in November, 1979.  Both for my wife to be ( "grow it back", cloth that face.  My son, 42 or so hasn't seen me without a beard.  Stopped trimming that in 12/2015.  Waste of time.  Bob was a great person!   Probably should've stayed in touch more, but FTP wasn't even around then !
