It was a most pleasant and unexpected jolt. During his last year of teaching, Bob was privileged and honored to have Archbishop Desmond Tutu as a next door "office neighbor." This in itself was jolting enough. However, in the course of Bob's association with this legendary figure, the Archbishop graciously struck up a friendship with him. They joked together, teased one another, and generally enjoyed one another's presence. When Myrna's mother died and the Archbishop heard about it, he came to Bob's office to offer his condolences and a prayer. Archbishop Tutu regarding Bob as a friend!
