Not widely known and less appreciated are Bob’s formative years. Bob’s current wife, Gloria, has only hinted at the stories concerning Bob’s travels as a young man with the last of the Eastern European Gypsies. Shortly after WWII, Bob had left his moderately abusive uncle and his aging grandmother to adventure into the war tornHungarian alps. Nine years later he resurfaced in Turkey where he worked as a purchasing agent for a small natural gas line utility company who had officesthroughout the Far East. Then he inherited a resort hotel on the Caspian sea from some unknown benefactor. Bob had bragged about being a merchant marine, although henever spoke of any sea going forays. Mostly he reminisced about his piano import business in Baltimore and his second wife, whose name, coincidently, was also,Gloria….although he simply referred to her as gorgeous or “that woman”. Marvin the mailman said Bob received more certified mail than anyone in the neighborhood. Bobsays he is 78 but everyone knows he is much younger.
