June 7, 1924 - September 11, 2002

A fifth generation native of Kern River Valley, Bob is best remembered for the 9 history books he wrote. Without him much of what happened in our valley's past would have been lost. He was a cowboy, cattleman, ranger, family man and historian. But most of all he was a man of honesty and integrity. As a director and curator for the museum, he gave a lifetime collection of artifacts for all to enjoy. Awarded for his writing, his wife, Marge, said he would be embarrassed with the attention. When asked his reasons for writing, Bob simply said "I did it because it needed to be done". And to the question "What has meant the most over the years?", his reply was "I have 6 loves: the Lord, my family, my friends, the Kern River Valley, cowboying and the Forest Service." With this plaque we are preserving the memory of a man for all reasons.
