Thanks, Jon. Yes, "exuberance" is good choice of words, seeing as how it's taking at least a half dozen people to carry on the things he did on a daily basis.

I miss talking on the phone with Robert. He once said he couldn't get me to stop talking about Zebco's, and then one day he did the same thing talking about TT reels. Loved talking with him fun and informative.

I probably shared this before but ran into it while going through some old stuff. In June 2013 Robert sent me a picture he and a friend had taken at an overlook at Yosemite in 2012. It was the same place his parents had theirs taken many years ago.
