According to The Rev'd Mary Anne Akin who spoke at Bob's funeral service today over 300 people attended Bob's visitation last night. From my observation most of those attending were former students. The Rev'd said Bob was always asking his students "what are you learning, what are you teaching." Bob's body lies with our mother earth but his life and spirit lives on in the many lives he touched on his visit here.

Sorry to hear about Bob Crump. I saw him but just did not realize just how sick he truly was. He will be very much missed.

Dear Tommy,
Thanks so much for forwarding this announcement...I remember Bob as a good classmate and fellow band member...I did not realize he was also a teacher..
Also, thank you so much for the copy of your newest book...I have really enjoyed reading it and reliving some of the good times we had as teenagers in and around Huntsville and Lee High.

I had read this in today's edition of the Traveller. Thanks for posting it. I knew Bob along time ago, as I was his next door neighbor from 1958-1966. In July, you had also posted on the site that Hooker Shuey had died, also Bob's age & classmate. Hooker's dad was the scoutmaster of the Boy Scout troop I was a member of on Monte Sano. Because Hooker's dad was the Scoutmaster, all the scout meetings on Tuesday evenings were held in his garage, before the Methodist Church was built & then used for the meetings. I was shocked when I learned of Hooker's death, and doubly shocked about Bob's passing, on Saturday. I was 2 years younger than both of them, so we never shared any classes in school, but we all rode the same school bus, and saw each other every day. In Bob's case, I spent alot of time in his backyard where we played board games, like Clue, Monopoly, Parcheesi. I remember one Christmas when one of Bob's Christmas gifts had been a three dimensional-type game, called Mouse Trap, and how many hours during the summer we played that thing in his backyard on the picnic table (Bob also had the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots game, which we also wore out!) In my case, I never knew much about Bob or Hooker after we moved to Florida in 1966, so my memories of both are kind of frozen in time, remembering both as they looked from their Senior photos in the 1966 LHS yearbook, and will always remember them as some of the kids from the neighborhood I grew up in. Thinking about Bob right now, how I wish I could go back in time and spend just one more quiet summer day under the trees in Bob's backyard, and play a game of Parcheesi with him.

I want to say how sorry I am to hear about Bob Crump. My memory may be faulty, but I remember in our senior year during Christmas break that "someone" painted Mrs. Coon's desk and place a "Hell no I ain't forgettin'" car tag with the Confederate soldier on the front of the desk. (She said something once to the affect that she had come down here to teach us ignorant Southerners something.) I think Bob Crump and Hub Harrington were involved in the painting.

I signed up for the reunion in August, but needed back surgery, so had to cancel. Looking forward to the next one. I havn't made it to one yet, so decided it was about time! I moved away to California in 1967 and was married in 1969. I've been here ever since. Would love to see everyone again!

Tommy, this is in response to Bruce Fowler's article in last week's issue.
Bruce, you're a hoot!! Your article in last week's Traveller was fun to read. It's nice to know that you haven't changed and that you still use many words of many syllables to express your thoughts. It keeps us on our toes! By the way, if that's the most fun you've had with an LHS group since graduation, you've been hanging out with the wrong crowd!!
