> Every December for over a decade, I would write Bob and ask his
> permission to repost the following. It got to the point where he would
> send permission before I remembered that it was time to ask. (Really,
> the asking was just a chance to catch up a bit. Bob lived in the part
> of the world that I call "home" and we'd been chatting with one
> another since he got stuck in the north country one Fall.) We lost Bob
> to multiple myeloma a couple of years ago. I can’t ask anymore. I
> miss that.

> I never had his permission to publish it anywhere but on the
> WetWesties mailing list, but I don’t think Bob would mind that I
> pointed you to his blog.

> Go read the story. Read it aloud to your kids. They WILL remember.
