We wanted Barbara to know we're thinking of her and Bobby. Jim Geiger, Luann Bennett, Betty Thompson, and Vivien Batson are planning to be there on Saturday.
Bobby, I remember meeting you for the first time at Lake Shore Junior High School in Jacksonville, Fl. during the 1969-70 school year. You were teaching Industrial Arts. I admired the fact that you were a stern, but effective teacher, who was highly thought of by your students. Teachers at Lake Shore and Duval County were blessed to benefit from your activism in the Duval Teachers Association (DTU). Yours was a powerful voice during those trying times. Thank you for the impact you made not only in the lives of your students but also in the lives of all who worked for the Duval County Public School system. May you Rest In Peace, my friend. To the Morris family, may the warm and loving memories sustain you and give you peace.
John and Karen Caine
Barbara and rest of Bobby’s family. I remember all the last night bargaining sessions and how much Bobby taught us about what I thought was trivia but turned out to mean a lot in my life. He was one of a kind. I wish I could attend the Memorial Service but unfortunately we will be in Arkansas. I will say a prayer and give a toast to a “one of a kind”. BJ Laster
