Sad to see that he passed away earlier this week. I will never be able to thank him enough too. If you grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons in the Seventies, Bob’s idea was mandatory viewing on ABC…more like, those of us too lazy to change the channel or there was something else coming. In short, Bob and his team made learning fun with catchy songs behind the brief lesson’s point. A Herculean feat given that learning anything is the last thing on a kid’s mind every Saturday morning.
To give you an idea how effective his work was, I clearly remember me and others humming the tune Bob set to the Preamble of the US Constitution during a History test way back in 1984.
Thanks Bob for all the help, your History and English cartoons are what I will remember the most.
