  	"Bobbie had a rather tragic life. When he graduated from High School in Olathe, he was too young to get a job, so Ray and I had given him the means for college. He went to K.U. for two years, and then through no fault of his own he was taken. He was such a good kid. "Several boys gathered at a usual drug store in Olathe. One boy had a new motorcycle, and each boy was taking turns, and when it came time for Bobbie, he made it, but as he was coming back it started raining. He lost control and was thrown in front of an oncoming car, and he was killed instantly." - Iva (Bell) RUSSELL
