    All
    I regret to inform you that we have lost one of our own.
    Shakeybob Allen has passed away.
    Bob is the founder of the Empire State battle squadron.
    A big-gun group up in N.Y.
    I have known him for years, but was never able to actually meet him.
    We had been discussing a get-together sometime in the near future.
    But it never seemed to work out.
    He was a great guy, and a great friend.
    And I will miss him.
    I will post more about my memories of him in the near future.
    Perhaps others can as well.
    Mikey

    Sorry to hear about Bob. There are so many great people in this hobby that a lot of us have had yet to meet. I never met Bob myself but I understand how you feel.

    I mourn his passing, but hope that he is even now scoping out battle ponds in Valhalla for the rest of us. Godspeed, Shakeybob.
