Arnie Katz and rich brown (when co-editing the second incarnation of FOCAL POINT), ran a successful "BoSh Fund" to bring Bob to the Worldcon in Boston the year after he lost TAFF to Eddie Jones. That BoSh Fund was the first of several. Attended Aussiecon 2 (1985 Worldcon) via The Shaw Fund.

Co-author (with Walt Willis) of fandom's most enduring allegory, THE ENCHANTED DUPLICATOR.

Provided a large share of the artwork in SLANT, where he also wrote his oft-reprinted "Fansmanship Lectures." Known for giving humorous "scientific" lectures at conventions, including a few at Worldcons.

One of the Wheels of IF (IF=Irish Fandom), where he was a noted trencherman and hard-playing Ghoodminton competitor. They, and other members of Sixth Fandom, had been largely responsible for promoting South Gate in '58, using it as an interlineation in their fanzines.
