No doubt about the great guy and hard worker.
But there was something else about him that I marveled about and prompted me to further study as much information that I could devour.
It was the study of the human mind.
One day, I was just at my wits end searching through all the books and papers trying to find the folio number of a particular part, when Bob said: "What are you looking for?"
I told him.
He just pulled it out of his mind. Just as simple as that.
From time to time, over the years, I would test him. And sure enough, no matter how obscure the part, he would just look up from what he was doing and give me the right answer.
That was until many years later when I was sent to Salem during an outage; I [just for the hell of it] I asked Bob for the folio number of a part that I had already found.
He looked up and I could see that he was very perplexed.
He couldn't remember the folio number; and that troubled him greatly.
