I met and greatly admired Bob 60 years ago,and intermittently through the years. He made the world. A brighter place.

Dear Bob Brockie was the most genial. the cleverest and most informed man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only was he a scientist of high repute, but he could take up any musical instrument and make it work. No doubt, if he had put his mind to it, he could have been an outstanding and highly original artist. I am only one of hundreds of people, I imagine, who would love to buy a book of his thoughts and cartoons, should there ever be such a publication. It would be a total treasure.
