I have strong memories of Conna and Robert at the Academy in the autumn of
1974. Musicians they were. I remember Robert as this spirit giant. A great
smile on his face. Leading singing on sunday evenings as if we were in a
black church. Stirring stuff... I celebrate this great life and  say Amen.

I am saddened to hear of Robert's death. I often wondered what ever happened
with him. He, Carlos and I enjoyed many long and wrenching conversations in
appropriating being black in American and in the Order. I have fond memories
of teaching the Urban Academy with him. He was a true treasure, and I pray
that his soul is at peace.

the star of the show, everyone thought he was the greatest.  Years later
Robert and I had a great time playing music at the summer programs.  I'm
sure others of us have memories of Robert, too.
