Baton Bob

Baton Bob has made the Atlanta Journal-Constitution!

I first became familiar with Bob when Kenny posted a link to an article in a St. Louis newspaper about Baton Bob. The article talked about Bob's impending move to Atlanta. I wrote the author of the article, telling him that Atlanta really needed someone with Bob's joie de vivre. Well, I was quoted in the followup article!

Because of that early knowledge about Bob, I feel a special closeness to him and was so happy when I first saw him twirling in Piedmont Park.

We saw him just last night on our way to dinner. He was at the corner of Juniper and 10th, twirling and whistling, dressed in a majorette's uniform. As we passed by, he wished us "Happy Spring" (it was a sunny, almost-80-degrees day -- woo hoo!).

Happy Spring back to you, Bob. You really do bring a much-needed smile to the collective face of Atlanta.
