I would hope others who have attended his presentation can agree with me that he did so with the utmost respect and honor to all military personnel, families, and other persons who are buried there. Bob remembers clearly that it was his eighth grade history teacher (a Catholic Nun), who walked into the classroom dressed in a full Civil War Union uniform complete with a musket and he says it “grabbed me hook, line and sinker”. He has been interested since then. His father kept the interest going with books and encouragement when Bob became ill as a junior in high school and spent just over a month in bed. However, while his father was a World War 2 Veteran, he never spoke a word about it to Bob or his family. Born and raised in South Philly, he lived there for 30 years before moving to Cherry Hill, N.J. After graduating from Bishop Neumann High School in 1976, he attended the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology, a two year program for Design Drafting Technology. Bob has been in the structural steel business for 40 years, the last 36 at Central Metals, Inc., a structural steel and iron fabricator and erector, located in Camden, NJ. Bob began doing structural steel drawings, and is currently Senior Vice President. The company works on large commercial projects, local stadiums, casinos and high rises. Bob and his wife Carol have been married for 31 years. Carol worked in Chemistry at Pennsylvania Hospital for 18 years before staying home to raise their children. From a previous marriage, he has one daughter named Melissa whom Bob raised. Melissa and son-in-law Chris now live in North Carolina. Chris served 20 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and retired in 2017. He served multiple tours in the Middle East, mostly in helicopters. Together, Bob and Carol have two sons, Nick who works for Comcast, and Robert who works as a structural steel draftsman at Bob’s company. Bob’s biggest Civil War interests have been Gettysburg, Antietam, Civil War medicine and the Lincoln assassination. He has a great appreciation for Arlington National Cemetery and anyone who has served our Nation. For the last few years he has studied mostly the Founding Era and the Founders. He has also been researching Native Americans, with a focus on the Lakota Sioux. Bob and Carol are in the planning stages of a future trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. While his children were young, he was as involved in the community with coaching soccer, baseball and football. Since then, he has been active as a member of the original Friends of Gettysburg, Ford's Theater Society, Surratt Society, Save Historic Antietam Foundation, Constitution Center, Museum of the American Revolution, Old Baldy CWRT, Delaware Valley CWRT, Friends of Independence and a few others.

  • Mrs. General Lee's Attempts to Regain Her Possessions After the Cnil War
    MRS. GENERAL LEE'S ATTEMPTS TO REGAIN HER POSSESSIONS AFTER THE CNIL WAR By RUTH PRESTON ROSE When Mary Custis Lee, the wife of Robert E. Lee, left Arlington House in May of 1861, she removed only a few of her more valuable possessions, not knowing that she would never return to live in the house which had been home to her since her birth in 1808. The Federal Army moved onto Mrs. Lee's Arling­ ton estate on May 25, 1861. The house was used as army headquarters during part of the war and the grounds immediately around the house became a nation­ al cemetery in 1864. Because of strong anti-confederate sentiment after the war, there was no possibility of Mrs. Lee's regaining possession of her home. Restora­ tion of the furnishings of the house was complicated by the fact that some articles had been sent to the Patent Office where they were placed on display. Mary Anna Randolph Custis was the only surviving child of George Washing­ ton Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh. Her father was the grandson of Martha Custis Washington and had been adopted by George Washington when his father, John Custis, died during the Revolutionary War. The child was brought up during the glorious days of the new republic, living with his adopted father in New York and Philadelphia during the first President's years in office and remaining with the Washingtons during their last years at Mount Vernon. In 1802, after the death of Martha Washington, young Custis started building Arlington House on a hill overlooking the new city of Washington.

  • Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge
    BOOK SUMMARY She built a monument for all time. Then she was lost in its shadow. Discover the fascinating woman who helped design and construct an American icon, perfect for readers of The Other Einstein. Emily Warren Roebling refuses to live conventionally―she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband Wash asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold, and her life transformed when Wash, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. Lines blur as Wash's vision becomes her own, and when he is unable to return to the job, Emily is consumed by it. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building―hers, or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge finally stands finished, will she recognize the woman who built it? Based on the true story of the Brooklyn Bridge, The Engineer's Wife delivers an emotional portrait of a woman transformed by a project of unfathomable scale, which takes her into the bowels of the East River, suffragette riots, the halls of Manhattan's elite, and the heady, freewheeling temptations of P.T. Barnum. It's the story of a husband and wife determined to build something that lasts―even at the risk of losing each other.

Instead, he was sent by Confederate President Jefferson Davis to inspect and improve the South’s coastal defenses. This job brought him to Cumberland Island, a barrier island off the oc ast of Georgia, and while there, he visited the ancestral home of Nathanael Greene, where his father was buried in the family plot.
