On Monday I will be in a foursome at the Bob Nicol Memorial in Richmond. This week we buried a member of “The Greatest Generation”. Bob lived to celebrate his 103rd birthday in April. He was the founder of the St. Cloud Sertoma Club, serving as its first President. He faithfully attended weekly meetings until a few months ago. Every year, Bob sold more Fruit Cakes than any member. He entered the Army as a commissioned officer through the ROTC and spent 21 months in Europe during WWII. He was a member of the St. Cloud Country Club for 70 years and shot his age at 74. He had five holes in one. Bob will be greatly missed by many. I took this picture of Bob teeing off at age 96 in the annual Sertoma Golf Tournament, now the “Bob Nicol Memorial”.
This week, Live From Here is a look back to a March broadcast from Tempe, AZ with The Wood Brothers, Phoebe Bridgers, and Bobcat Goldthwait. Plus: they will open things up with a celebration of Cactus League baseball and Frank Lloyd Wright, and an instrumental Song of the Week, “Dancing About Architecture”. Madison Cunningham delivers her stunning song “Trouble Found Me.” All that plus, Tom Papa’s notes from a trip to Indianapolis, and the acting company’s journey into the world of “Moms Who’ve Left Facebook”.
