We all knew him as "Rob." I am pretty sure he was at the 20th Reunion and I kept in touch with him for a while after that. He did his BS in EE at Purdue. I roomed with him one semester, but moved out because of his pipe smoking! His home in Glen Ellyn was somewhere a couple blocks east of Main Street around Forest Glen.
