| Introduction | Bob is and has been a lot of things: a musician – played Drums with the great Jimmy Ford of Houston, Texas and briefly with Mose Allison, also in Houston. Pianist and composer of several jazz tunes. A professional Golfer – won the Texas State Junior Ist Division Golf Championship at 16, and the New England PGA Pro Championship; an educator; a Veteran; an ex-aspiring lawyer; an inventor and patent holder – invented a Golfers’ visual training swing aid placed on a Driving Range Mat; husband, father, grandfather, and one who absolutely despises bullies. The bully mention is here because it’s what he is convinced is our main problem in Washington. His current thrust is to expose how well governments can control and manipulate the populace with words – always euphemisms instead of the real truth. |
