Bob's Story

Life Bob lives in the Great Northwest in a suburb of Portland Oregon with his wife, Nancy Brown. He works for IBM as a retail industry Sr. Project Manager. Nancy has two degrees in Music and teaches at her private home studio. Bob and Nancy have two daughters, Katherine and Hannah, and both have college degrees. Bob has been forced to live with three cats, some fish and moderate allergies. There was a time that Bob's car collecting was out of control. Now he has just one Tbird; a 1969 four "suicide door" Landau with leather interior and 41,000 original miles. Bob has seven jukeboxes dated from 1958 through 1964 and a 45 record collection that is eclectic with some very rare and expensive records. He hopes Nancy does not read this! Bob and Nancy's compulsion spanning several decades is landscaping, with a focus on dozens of Japanese Maples planted throughout their woodland property.
