Since then Bob has has been steadily involved is all phases of the organization serving several terms as a member and vise-chairman on the Central Leadership Council. Bob recently completed a history on the origins of our one-of-a-kind organization, is currently Chairman of the Bluebills Heritage Chapter, and has also been honored for his work with the Brain Injury Association using his influence to educate children on the use of helmets and other bike safety practices. Bob is a retired Air Force Officer and has served as the president of the Northwest Chapter of the National Military Intelligence Officers and as president of the Association of Former intelligence Officers.
