Bob's Celebration of Life was laid out by Amy. She & others did a wonderful of displaying all of the things Bob loved.
20 minutes to 1 mom Decorah made her appearance with a low fly across the pond and swooped up and away. We then went to the service. It was awesome to hear from Bob's family, friends & all who worked with him. It was sad & funny all at the same time.
John will do a wonderful job not loosing sight of Bob's vision. John was excited & ready to start. Bless the team as they carry on Bob's mission.

I met so many of our forum members, mods, Amy & Bob's friends. It was an honor!
To many to name, but you all know who you are
I have always said, Bob brought the world together doing what he loved

Thank you GSB, that was a lovely obituary.  And a huge congratulations on becoming RRP Director.  I'm really looking forward to finding out what happens next in the world of RRP, and am excited to continue to volunteer my time and energy to one of the best causes around!  Hugs and fist bumps all around!!

Well, I was waiting on the official RRP announcement, but I know RRP is doing things other than writing articles and posts.  So I'm going to jump right on in here and say...

Congratulations to John Howe, GSBDweller, on being named RRP Director!  I am certain you, and all of RRP, will work diligently to continue and further Bob's vision.

Build a starter nest near the ruins of N2 to see if the eagles adopt it.

Amy publicly published the RRP Blog and RRP FB article with the new RRP announcements yesterday evening.  In this instance, I knew they had already given out some of that information, even though it wasn't "in print" yet on their official RRP pages, when a new Director and Board Members were identified as such with name tags this past Saturday in Decorah.

I am so glad Amy was able to get those announcements out yesterday.  I'm excited about the make-up of the expanded Board!  It's going to bring a lot of additional expertise and experience from several different areas and backgrounds to add to that which was already there on the Board.  Amy's new Blog spot post answered so many questions.  I hope people will read that new Blog Spot, and not just the short announcement.  And I'm feeling positive about what they may be working on in terms of a "starter nest" for Mom and Dad.  We'll have to wait and see what Mom and Dad think of it.   

I'm still so sad about Bob's death, but I am encouraged by the energy that "RRP and Company" are showing during a time of what must be deep grief for them all.

There is great information to be found in the new RRP Blog about the RRP Board and Director and the first four projects from Bob's "Top 10" project list, which are being worked on immediately.  Be sure to see those near the bottom of that Blog, which can be found at:

I think someone asked about the eagle Bob was carrying on page Three
of this thread.  I believe that was Four!    The picture was posted by Ginger.
