Bob's Story
Life
Met my present spouse, art dealer Virginia Miller, at a small party in an artist's loft 47 years ago. My first wife, antiquarian book dealer Maggie DuPriest, is deceased.
Retired from newspapering/editing/PR/speechwriting/TV hosting to write books and do speechwriting.
Next year I'll be publishing my first novel, a humorous 10-year-old's view of the WW II home front based on my childhood. I'll also be publishing a memoir based on my years in the Bahamas and as a reporter and bureau chief with The Miami Herald.
I also do most of the writing/editing for the 5,000-page web site of my wife's business, ArtSpace Virginia Miller Galleries, now Greater Miami's longest-established contemporary fine art gallery.
Anybody else remember:

t out for Charley, he's a grad, you know,
Push me out the door I used four years ago--
Class of Fifty-four, let's go man go!
"Leave to good ol' Spengler all the squares and cubes,
Mellinger should break a couple chem lab tubes,
Au revoir to 'El Señor' confusin' Hughes,
True or false for Helen Spence no longer choose,
Class of Fifty-four, let's go man go!
"Now it's near, it's almost here,
Graduation time.
We've gotta go, we've gotta go,
We've reached the end, a four-year climb!"
(Reprise first verse, I think. Charley, of course,
was the retiring principal, Charles Haslam. Personally,
I always felt that "confusin' Hughes" was a bum rap.
I'm still using the Spanish I learned from him and Mr. Carmen Prezioso. Anybody else remember the poem,
"El Burro Flautista?"
Hugs and handshakes,
Bob (now known as Bill, but that's another story)
