I went to school with Robert at Highlands High School. We knew each other from that time. I started working at Kelly AFB in December of 1978 and remember seeing him sometimes at the gate when I would come in to work. Never missed the chance to say hello and chat if nobody was behind me trying to get through the gate. They named a street in his honor out here at the base. (ROBERT DOVER ST) I still work here and think of him whenever I'm on HIS street. To Dear Laura, he was a heck of a nice guy and always liked him. My name is Cyrus Avey from San Antonio Texas Dec 8 2011
