I am an old friend of Bob’s and just dying to talk to him. Can someone give him my address — i know he’s a big bazillionaire but we’ve been friends since the 70’s and i miss talking to him. We met at Columbia and stayed in touch till about 10 years ago — now i’m in Northern California. Love to him. X, Mercy
