Memories of Bob

Darrell Logan told me this morning that Bob Doerflein passed away at about 2 am today. Bob and his wife, Peggy, were long-time supporting members of Div 6 and the NMRA.


I remember Bob (and Peggy) as quiet but dedicated members. I have missed seeing them at meetings in the past five years or so. Please keep them in your thoughts and remember them as you see fit.
