Frederick L. Maybaum says: We were frequent visitors as children to the Hosdens in Indiana. Bob was a happy guy who was fun to be around. In adulthood, we went separate ways only to be rejoined when he and Dee moved to Arizona several years ago. He still had the same sense of humor I had recalled when we were children.
