Major Bob Smith

[Ron Hill]

I think Bob retired as a Captain, but I always called him Major Bob because that is what he liked being called.

Many people that know me often ask me what it is like to have lost my mind......but when it comes to Major Bob, I ask him the same question and he gives me a very strange look....Bob almost got me into the Air Force in 1969, probably should have joined up when I could have. Bob flew many missions in Vietnam and I had often thought he had flown the most.

At Whitney Point, 2008, I met Bob's friend, Dick Guild. Dick flew more missions than Bob in Vietnam. He flew 450 missions in F-105's and F-4E.

Dick was Bob's pit crew...Bob didn't win, but they seems very happy at the EVENT......Win our lose these two are GREAT AMERICANS...

Bob is CEO of www.renewablefusion.com something I don't understand, but Bob believes in it....Of course my IQ is close to normal, not 2000...

Bob is on the right...Dick to the left.

ADD: Bob lived in OHIO as a kid and grew up racing against Jon Culver and the GREAT Dean Chenoweth....

Bob also thinks that Dick and Billy Giles, the boat racer, maybe related....as they found in local cemetery, some Guild history.
