He was filled with limitless energy and joy about travel. He was extremely eager to help anyone plan their trips. He was more than happy to help them our children, students and friends We raised five children. They are now grown up with families of their own.

Bob and I were supposed to go to Argentina on the 21st of September after he returned from Los Angeles, and we had tickets to go to India in January the next year. The night of September 10th, we were planning a trip to Scandinavia Robert LeBlanc for the following summer, because I wanted to go back to my ancestral lands.
