Kenyon, Jr. @69.46.139.190 : Bob Pula's coagulation 13 Jan 2004 @ 15:49 by Bruce Kodish @24.205.69.22 : Coagulation Here I Come The ditty is sung to the tune of "California, Here I Come." 13 Jan 2004 @ 19:20 by Frank Gastner @65.129.136.108 : Good-bye Bob I always enjoyed each meeting with Bob as we greeted each other in Polish. Good humor, good gs, and good teaching. In our last meeting, Bob told me he had been asked to take on another project. He decided against it since he was committed to the projects he had already undertaken. Reason: "I just don't know how much time I have." And we spoke of getting together in the late spring. I cannot believe it now won't happen. 17 Jan 2004 @ 11:57 by bkodish : At The Funeral Home My Friend Crispin Hesford sent this note from Baltimore. >>Friday, January 16, 2004 10:31 AM > Subject: At the funeral home > I went down to Canton to the funeral home last night. > The streets were cold, windy and deserted, quite a contrast > to the scene inside.
