"As the anniversary of Bob’s death approaches, it is important to me to reflect back on the events surrounding his death. The truth is that it has been almost 16 months since Bob was at work. Sometimes it feels as if he is still here; other times, he is sorely missed. One year ago his fate was sealed and the finality of his death certainly gave all of us pause. In my reflection, I found some things that I would like to share with all of you.""Bob died August 21st, his Memorial Celebration was held August 23rd and we [Moog Music] moved the next day; a day that can only be described as surreal. So not only was Bob gone but the place where we had all seen him work for ten straight years was devoid of all of Bob’s considerable artifacts (see the attached picture which I took one day when it was fairly clean!)."

I'm surprised no one has commented on the unreleased product that Bob gave as an exercise to Cyril Lance (head of Moog product development):

Dang. I totally missed that. I glossed over it and thought it was in reference to the Little Phatty, but you are right, they would have said the Little Phatty if that's what they meant. Hmm.... This needs a new post.
