My first time meeting Bob was Christmas Eve, 1990. Cindy invited my to the Candlelight service at First Presbyterian Church of Evanston. It was our first date, of sorts. Naturally, we were late, so we sat in the balcony. As the service had begun, we found our seats in silence. Only at the end of the service did I realize Cindy had seated us next to Bob. I wish I'd known that beforehand! Peace, Bob. 

Sincere condolences from your neighbors on Linden.
