Born on January 4, 1931, Bob introduces himself with, "You've never met anybody who has a life like I have..." A Korean War Combat Vet, married three times, and careers that included mechanic, bricklayer, management, and owning a commercial contracting company. He's owned three planes, built his own steel hulled, 64' sailboat, designed and built his home, and can tell amazing stories that include a couple Bermuda Triangle incidents, placing an ad for a first mate/wife, and so much more. Raised in the long-gone small 'village' of Lapidum located on the Susquehanna River just north of Havre de Grace, he shares stories of growing up poor but still having a good life. This excerpt is 15 minutes or so of nearly 1-1/2 hours. Enjoy! Be sure to visit our website at http://hdgstories.com for more details about the boat he built, and the transcript to the podcast.
