Friends, last April we celebrated our 40th anniversary of graduation from Landon School in Bethesda, MD. (Being the class agent, I was one of the protagonists for our part of the alumni weekend.) It was a great pleasure to see Robert there. We were all enriched by his presence. Thus, his death seems so much more tragic, as we were just shaking hands not too long ago. On behalf of the Class of '67, we feel a great loss in Robert's passing. I wish to thank all of you for your kind words here and the tributes you arranged. I would also like to thank my friends from Landon, especially Dave Yost, John Mann, Scott vanNess, and Terry Downs, for keeping the information available to our classmates and for being there for Robert's friends and loved-ones. This bromide may not mean much to all, but, Robert, here's a nickel in the grass for you, my friend.
