Even though he was married to my cousin, Snookie, I always thought of Bob as my uncle. His daughter Patsy and I were only three months apart, and also spent our senior year of high school together at Princess Anne High. She was thought of as the school beauty, winning Best Looking that year. I was quieter, studied and drew all the time. She wanted to draw, and I wanted to be Lotus Queen, I guess. I spent much time with them at the Beach, and miss them all.
