Name: Bob
Lover of good food
I met Bob in downtown Gainesville at the farmer's market. He is from Camden, NJ and has 17 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and two more on the way. He has also lived in Pennsylvania and Long Island, NY. Bob became an ordained pastor in 1957. When I asked Bob what he ultimately wants to accomplish, he replied that he is a Christian, so he is "seeking to glorify God" and "give thanks through God". In the summertime he and his wife take their grandchildren to the lake to "make memories". In 1976, Bob bought two beehives and became interested in organic farming and beekeeping. He retired to the south in 1997, and between the south and the north, Bob says "both have their good points", but he "likes the extended growing season [in the south]. He was selling honey and beeswax candles and the honey was very good! Thank you for the candle, Bob :)
