I know he had health issues recently and the dude was still taking orders and making sure they got out on time. Anyone know if he sleeps and/or takes vacation? Anyone actually meet him in person?

I was talking to a fellow KLOVer and we were joking that it would be cool if a bunch of us chipped in to pay for his hotel and plane tickets to come out to CAX for a weekend and spread his great knowledge and give us all the honor of meeting/thanking him for helping us all complete so many projects. I think if there was a Bob Roberts key note or workshop, there would be a packed house.

I'm not sure if he's well enough to travel or if he would even consider coming out (Again, I doubt he takes a day off for himself. He's too dedicated.), but wouldn't that be awesome? :D

That should be the ONLY vacation he's allowed to take! :D

I'd chip in for that. Ditto for Noice.
 
Short of an act of god, nothing is gonna get Bob to go. He's really coming to enjoy having his privacy during these retirement years.
 
Has anyone here ever been to Gretna and met Bob?

Back in the late 90's he gave me his monitor business, as his intentions at the time were to "retire". We've spoken over the phone a number of times.... very "cajun" sounding, naturally ;-) He's just as intelligent and informative to speak with live as in email. Some folks come off so differently in person compared to email but not Bob.

I do know a lot of local Ops and collectors have stopped by his place over the years, not sure if that's still the case.

He's actually pretty funny. I remember my first email to him. I was like "Shall I make out the check to you?" He responded, "Yeah, we better do that, otherwise my wife will go buy more hats."

Classic.
 
There has been a Bob Roberts sighting in the past.....
