I first met Bob while I was in the Navy, stationed in Japan. I took a 5 day leave and went up to Mt. Fuji for a Indy Car race there. Bob was the crew chief on the Caves Buick Offy, driven by Al Miller. (Mister Clean) After getting back stateside, I had the oppertunity to go to the first Rex Mays 300 race at Riverside and was, as I want to say it, allowed to hang with the car and crew. I actually got my hands dirty! He and the crew were staying at a motel close to the track, but would come to the place where I was staying and pick me up in the morning and bring me back at night. While there, he took me to my first Turkey Night race at Ascot. I seem to remember him having to pull over on the way back to the hotel and let me drive the rest of the way. A few years later, two of the guys that drove for my good friend Bob Rosen in BCRA drove midgets for Bob. I haven't seen him in many years now, but he will be missed, but never forgotten
