\nI<\/font><\/u> Remember Bob<\/font>
\nEllen Knapp, president, SBBCH 2007, 2008<\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob as a big, burley imposing, deep voiced man;<\/font>
\nWith a HUGE, gentle, generous and giving heart;<\/font>
\nWith a warm and welcoming smile;<\/font>
\nWith a wonderful sense of humor.<\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob with tremendous knowledge regarding horses and packing;<\/font>
\nWith tremendous experience regarding horses and packing;<\/font>
\nWith a great willingness to share that knowledge unconditionally;<\/font>
\nWith a great willingness to share without judgment;<\/font>
\nWith a great willingness to share with us novices;<\/font>
\nPatiently.<\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob with an un flitching seat on his horse;<\/font>
\nAnd great confidence in his horse;<\/font>
\nDespite the trail crumbling out from under him.<\/font>
\nHe continues to gives me confidence in my riding. <\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob as a very fair man<\/font>
\nHe never spoke ill of anyone.<\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob as a wonderful Dutch oven cook;<\/font>
\nHe fed us fabulous delights. <\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob teaching me<\/font>
\nto back splice our ropes <\/font>
\nand critiquing, encouragingly, my novice efforts.<\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob teaching me, <\/font>
\npatiently, <\/font>
\nto mantee a load with elegance and minimal effort; <\/font>
\nmany times, each time with equal patience.<\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob,<\/font>
\nI will never forget Bob,<\/font>
\nBob lives on in me,<\/font>
\nfor he imbued in me his knowledge,<\/font>
\nand made me a better person for my knowing him.<\/font><\/p>\n

I remember Bob<\/font>
\nAnd I will miss him greatly.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
