So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I agree with Rex. I don't think I ever remember seeing Bob without a smile on his face. I never really got to know him, but I was always happy to see him and he just seemed to radiate good cheer and positive energy every time I saw him. I am sure he passed on that spirit of goodwill and optimism to his family, loved ones, and friends. God Bless you, Bob. Rest in Peace.

Hey Web!!!!! So glad you are on the website now. Last time we saw each other was for our 25th reunion as I recall. Congratulations on your career and now retirement. BTW, you got your Wedding date wrong!! -- so don't let Caroline see that before you correct it. It was August 18th, 1973!!!! We got married on the same day, remember? That is the only reason you were not our best man. Also you left out Dennis Newkirk, who played lead guitar in the 5th Generation (band). And of course, you remember I used to sing lead (very badly) until I got "let go" due to lack of talent. Oh well, we can't all excel at all things. But yes, the band got quite good when Dennis Dean took over the lead, and he really put his heart and soul into the band. I think the name of the band changed to VTOL (Vertical take off on landing) when Dennis became lead vocal and continued as bass guitarist. Anyway, it was great to see you on the website. Say hello to Caroline for us. Beverly and I are still in Monroe, GA. Really like this location. Yesterday, attended an opera in Atlanta (hilarious production of the Pirates of Penzenze). I'm still working in Emergency Medicine and enjoying my work. Now in a less stressful work situation. Write me an email at BruceSabatino@gmail.com and we can keep in touch. Happy Easter to you and Caroline and family. Maybe we will see you for the 50th reunion if not before. Sab...
