He might be a Pens fan but he is a BASS freak!  He loves his subs!

Yup,

OCCD is on the Left, and Thuffman03 is on the right.
They snapped this photo while at Carverfest.
He blacked out his own teeth for the photo.

That sure is Bob himself.  He was signing our equipment and taking in a good listen to our setup.  It was a good time.

One of the perks from the trip. We were able to pick his brain. I am still recovering. ;)

I've spoken to him on the phone several times before but never met him. Heck of a nice guy, I may add. He was never too busy to take the time.

Engineers can be a trip. As a Network Administrator of ~30 years I've supported everyone from the Janitor to the CEO of Fortune 500 Companies but the ones I always found most interesting were the Engineers. I sat in on a meeting once with about eight of these guys and they are on a COMPLETELY different plane when brainstorming. So I can appreciate your comment of "...still recovering".

The single most fascinating Engineers I've ever personally spoken with at length were Royden Sanders and Dan Blitz. The former was for all intents and purposes the Father of viable ECM (Sanders Associates) and the latter having done serious development of LORAN.

But Bob, he could always 'come down' to my level, as it were. One heck of a nice guy. How old is Bob now?

Thanks,

Lyman

Even Though I've Seen This Picture Before......It Is Still Quite Awesome, Even Though I Probably Shouldn't Be Surprised Considering The Capabilities Of The "2-TOMS". ;D---BILL
