Thanks for the memories of Robert. Years ago after hearing me talk about Southern foods eaten for good luck in the new year, a painter from New York City suggested that she and I cook some of those traditional foods for the other fellows. After dinner, we drove into Amherst, bought groceries and Robert let us into the kitchen to cook. We had a blast. Cooking and dancing in the kitchen. After midnight and the big dance party with James Brown in the living room had ended, we served black-eyed peas, cornbread, and collards to all the fellows in the dining room. I have such fond memories of that New Year's Eve and especially of Robert.

Loved Robert's BBQ. Cibo and I used to stop at a place in Maryland on the drive down from NYC and pick up BBQ sauce for Robert. He also made fabulous chicken BBQ some Friday nights. Thanks for the memories, Craig!
