I returned to Oakland in Mid 1974 I got together with Jim Anderson who had also had a wreck on his bike, broke his pelvis.
and I learned that Bob had perished in a car crash (low speed as a passenger) I was very sad, I made a personal commitment to remember bob and to mention him at any gathering of our friends Bob's dad was the pastor at eh Plymouth church on Oakland avenue.
Jim Anderson had a younger brother. (Robert) I think. One day I was at my Apartment on 1516 1sat avenue Talking with Jim, both of us recovering from or MC wrecks when Robert came over and asked if He could Buy Jim's Motorcycle , Jim refused telling his he did not think he was a safe enough driver , Robert asked me if I would sell my wrecked Norton. I said I no longer had it, it was junked and not repairable. I mentioned that I thought Bob's Yamaha was probably at Bob's dad's house. Robert called Bob's father and offered to buy the motorcycle Well Robert bought the motorcycle and I heard that he was killed on it in a high speed crash in Fremont. I felt so terrible and wished I had kept my mouth shut. Jim sank deep into sadness and seemed to drop from the circle of friends. I saw Jim Once in the late 80's and tried to keep in touch but it just did not happen, Jim gets his own article , he was a true friend.
Jim and I decidesd to rent an apartment together right out off High School. I woirked at the theater and Jim worked as a bussboy at Biff's a reataraunt at Broadway at 27th.
