Rob Bernardo placed Mountainview and Concord on the map for me.
I often looked for and read his postings, admiring his style and content.
He wrote me a couple of times and literally forced me to change some viewpoints by the strength of his arguments.
Rob gave us all part of himself in his writings and e-mail companionship.
I am reminded of a quote from Wallace Stevens, the poet.
| Nothing is final, he chants.
... is not writing that language which has renounced producing THE LAST WORD, which lives and breathes by yielding itself up to others? True revolt is the one inspired by the impossibility of ending. |
Rob is gone, yet Rob continues in his words and his friends all
over the world.
