One really has to admire Bob for his great sense of civic duty. Four years of active military service in WWII, when he was well over draft age and could easily have limited his time served to a few U.S.O. tours ... that was a big one. And then to follow that up with serving as Ike's media advisor for seven years for the princely sum of $1 a year ... that's impressive. Granted, it looked good on his resume and Bob was not meek about letting people know about his association with the President. But he earned the publicity. Two and three flights a week between NYC and DC were often required. He was simply there for the President whenever needed for all those years while never once violating Ike's trust re privacy and national security. Considering what goes on these days ... the man was a saint!
Sure would like to know what Bob was telling the boys. (Probably disproving the "saint" idea!)
