Just wanted to say, for those of you who don't know, that Aaren (Bob's daughter) has a page out on Facebook specifically dedicated to her writing and her parents. She hasn't posted since sometime in April, but she's put some really great poetry on there about her Mom, plus tells the story of finding out about her dad's death. It's really very poignant.
I'd love to know more about Marilyn. She sounds like a lively, fun, and loving woman who was plagued by mental illness. In our generation, just about every other person is in some form or another, from depression to anxiety to PTSD to all kinds of things in between.... but back in Marilyn's day, it would have carried a far worse stigma. Furthermore, she was apparently institutionalized most of her life. It makes me very sad, both for her and for her children.
Anyway, you can find Aaren's public page here.
I don't really have anything else to share at the moment about Bobby -- no news I'm afraid. :( I'm constantly combing for it, but haven't unearthed much. This pic was on ebay not too long ago, and I'll repost it here! I love his quirky, impish smile for these stills from The Happy Time.
