RIVERDALE I have learned what it means R- is for Robert 1- is for the Intellegence of the man V- is for the Vigor and Vitality you displayed E- is for the Effort and Energy you had R- is for the Reverence and Respect you showed D- is for the Diligence of a teacher A- is for the Great Attitude you had L- is for the Love of fellow man you showed E- is for the Everlasting Love we have for you and we miss you If we had a B I know it would stand for Bob and Baseball. Julius G. Ward (Soc. Stud, instr.) Dear Friend Bob, I am glad you passed our way. Few have placed the concern for others so high in life. The community and school have been recipients of your knowledge, willing help, and quiet optimism; but none have benefited more than I. Your willingness to share these qualities with my family and I will be with me always. I could not have wanted for a better friend. Jim Schreck (Soc. Studies instr.) Bob's death has bereft me of both best friend and valued colleague. Three years his senior, I learned as much from him in sharing his dy- ing as in sharing his living. On the weekend before Bob died he told me, 1 see things more clearly now. He has helped me, also, to see more clearly. Larry Godfrey (English instr.) Bob Anderson A- Brilliant and tireless educator A- Loving and caring person A- Man of Christian deeds A- True friend Bob Anderson was all of the above and much more. The report card of his life was filled with A's . His bright light continues to glow in the hearts and minds of his family, friends, and students. Ike Isenhart (former guidance counselor)

Robert L. Anderson was born February 24, 1941 and died September 30,1983; he was our friend, our teacher, and our colleague. Mr. An- derson graduated from Gays Mills High School in 1959 and received his B.S. from La Crosse State College in 1963. He gave the pre- ponderance of his teaching service to our com- munity, teaching at Blue River High School through 1965-67 and at Riverdale High School through 1967-1983. He was active in the River- dale Education Association, serving as presi- dent and for many years as negotiator. Bob will be sorely missed; he will never be forgot- ten by those of us who knew him. It may be unusual to have someone as your teacher and also a good friend, but his is exact- ly what Bob Anderson was to me. He was my teacher for three full years, and 1 enjoyed them all. A highlight was watching Carl Sagan in Cosmos. During class Mr. Anderson was in control, but after class the teacher student boundaries were erased. We talked alot, and Bob enjoyed enticing me. If I would complain or disagree with him, Bob would just give me a big grin and I couldn't help but smile too. His grin and good heart are unforgettable. I was truly fortunate to have Bob Anderson as a teacher and a close friend. Richard Swaziek (former Student) IN LOVING MEMORY OF ROBERT L. ANDERSON 1941-1983 All of us who knew Bob were saddened by his death. I remember him for his warmth and caring, his calmness in stressful situations, his subtle humor, his unique laughter, his broad knowledge, his challenging thinking, his many talents, all the help he gave me through the years. I miss him deeply but I feel grateful to have known and worked with such a fine individual. Helen Krause (Home Ec. instructor) I
