Brain Photos
From the Mind of Phyllis Weinberg
Knowing Bob for 44 years has left me with “brain photos”. I will share the captions. You will have to fill in the “photos.”
- Bob running to me across IIT campus lot (1972).
- Looking starry-eyed at me eating fantastic deep dish pizza at Connie’s pizza place.
- Our hands atop each other with our new wedding rings (1973).
- First apartment on IIT campus with boxes of pulps in living room and movie cards taped to the walls.
- Busy typing “WT50” on the L.C. Smith typewriter sitting on a homemade desk.
