I have been married to Rebecca for 44 years and we have 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren (2 girls 6 and 7 yrs and one boy 2 yrs). Like many of you, the best thing that has happened to us has been having grandchildren. Unfortunately, they all live on the west coast in Oregon and California.

Our daughter is director of legal services in Roseburg, Oregon and our son is an architect in Santa Rosa, CA. Rebecca and I are in Winston-Salem, NC where we have been for the last 17 yrs after spending 18 yrs in Charlotte. I am still working and a professor of pediatrics and chief of pediatric endocrinology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. My research interest is in childhood obesity prevention. Rebecca has worked as a teacher, lab assistant, interior decorator and sales person at Talbot's.

We have traveled quite a bit in hiking trips to Italy, Spain, Ireland, Czech Republic, and a few years ago hiked 100 miles across England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. Our most recent trip was last year with the Sierra Club hiking and kayaking in New Zealand. I also enjoy fly fishing and 2 weeks ago was trout fishing in the Canadian Rockies.

I am looking forward to the reunion and we will be staying with some friends who live just a few streets away from my parent's house on Cambridge avenue.

See you soon.

Hi Bob,
How wonderful to hear what you've been doing these past 50 years! I just ran across a picture taken at our confirmation that I'll e-mail you. Sorry I won't be at the reunion and not able to meet you and your family.

Hi Bobby,
I am thrilled to see your research interest is childhood obesity.
I have a grandchild with this problem and it has been a heartbreak for me .......she is 24 though now and still obese. I am a retired and disabled RN. So I have medicala interests as well. Proud of you fellow 1959 class member!!!!!

Bobby,
Congratulations on your success in the medical field and in raising a fine family.I would like to challenge your expertise in dealing with choldhood obesity and see what you might have in your little black bag for a guy who has grown shorter by two inches over the last fifty years while ballooning in weight to 260 lbs.
