Happy belated birthday to Dr. Bob! He and his wife used to come to assist with the fundraisers for the Whitehall Community Center all the time. He came to buy some BBQ Saturday and told me that he was going to celebrate his 90th birthday. I am so glad that I got to see him again. Of course, I did not recognize him with the mask, but I should have recognized the hat!
