First, I would like to express my condolences to Bobs family & friends & Im sorry its 10 years late! I only happened today to Google Bobs name & find this! I was a student of Bobs in Zurich in Grade 7 - (actually I noticed a photo from The Mikado in the collection& Im the character Katisha on my knees in the Center in dark kimono.)This production was wonderful, thanks to Bob. I also have memories of putting on marionette shows with his guidance& marionettes. He was a very kind teacher and fun chaperone on the field trips we took...I still have my Science experiments binder from his class- his rigorous expectation for our experiments and their notation was impressive. Also I forgot he was Canadian - as I am now too , living on a farm in Sask. Thank you.
