More about Bob

I decided to tell you more about Bob Edwards, the guy I wrote about yesterday. Here is his picture, along with Sue. They are in my office on election day.

It was Bob's nasty, decrepit dogs that provoked the incident with the naked fat man which I told you about in an earlier post.

Bob came from a wealthy family in Staunton, and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. In DC, he became "comptroller" of a major company and was quite wealthy himself.

He went to school at William and Mary, which he considered vastly superior to Virginia.

One of Bob's major interests was choral music. Although he never knew David well, he was fascinated by David's job. At the time, David was a full-time music minister.

One of Bob's activities was that he was a member of the DC Gay Men's Chorus. He also had enjoyed being a member of the National Cathedral Men and Boys Chorus. Though he got in a disagreement with the direector and quit the chorus, he was well thought of at the Cathedral. His memorial service was held in in one of the small chapels. After the service, we all released helium balloons in his honor. I think he would have liked that.
