[Oe List ...] Death of Robert Shropshire

[Ellen & David Rebstock]

Shrop was my section leader for RS1 in Academy in 1976.  I'll never forget
his style of addressing our illusions with a HO, Ho, Ho isn't that great.
He always said he wished he had the busiiness education that I had. I've
always wished I could have told him that his facilitation and people skills
were so much more important than what i was doing. I,ll never forget him as
a friend and I agree as to his great sense of humor and leadership skill.
