Swannanoa, which was named in the news clips I saw, is where Rob Work lives. Marshall Jones may be in Maggie Valley, near Asheville in those same mountains.

Colleagues, Sarah Booher has asked me to post an invitation to a party remembering Bob, Sept. 29, 2024 It will be a gathering at their apartment in Rochester. The event will not be on Zoom, but she invites participation through e-mails, and cards. “Please bring any stories, writings, artwork, pictures, poems, readings, songs, remembrances of Bob, prayers, jokes or funny stories, etc. Whatever you’d like to share. Bob’s dear Friend Rev. Stephanie will act as MC to gather us, keep us on track, perhaps share her own stories, and offer a final blessing. A light buffet will be served around 4 pm.” If you are able to physically attend, please RSVP by Sept. 23rd (585-455-4452) or send your greetings and messages: Sarah Booher gefbooher(a)stny.rr.com<mailto:gefbooher@stny.rr.com> 1471 Long Pond Rd, Apt 303E Rochester, NY 14626 Sarah’s health is compromised, but she would enjoy brief phone calls from colleagues, perhaps after the event. She also enjoys e-mails which she can read at her own pace. We are grateful for our shared journeys with Bob and Sarah over the years. As I write this I am reminded of Bob’s sense of humor and his love of singing. I imagine there will be some good singing at this remembrance party. We join with Cindy, Joanna, Robert and John and their families, and with Sarah as they celebrate together. Lynda Cock Davidson, NC 336-404-0770
