Surely, one of the reasons Bob ( & Orma) was so connected to the small Fort Steele Theatre Co. across the highway from the Wildhorse Ranch, was the fact that he was, himself, a great story teller. There was never a time that we congregated on his porch, around the breakfast or dinner table, the living room, or the small courtyard out from the kitchen, when Bob didn’t share more stories with us. The stories never repeated, and included times spent prospecting, interesting people they had known, unusual events that he and Orma witnessed at the shows in Vegas, and things that had happened in the wild. Like actors in the Theatre, Bob transported us away from our daily cares and opened the worlds he had experienced to our imaginations. Here, he was in his comfort zone.
