Dr. Bob: The Man and The Physician

IT IS VERY difficult to speak of Dr. Bob without going into eulogistic superlatives. While he lived, he laughed them off. And now, though he is dead, I feel that he still laughs them off. I sat beside him many times at the speakers' table and watched him squirm as some florid introduction was being given him. Many a chairman of the meeting strove to rise to the responsibility of introducing him by referring to him as co-founder of the "greatest, most wonderful, most magnificent, most momentous movement of all time." Dr. Bob whispered to me on one of these occasions, "The speaker certainly takes in a lot of territory and plenty of time."
