General Notes

Note

Hester Brooks, Bob's wife said, "We moved to Conantum with our three young children in 1967. It felt like coming home. The family flourished, and we all thrived in this creative environment. Bob with his writing and art work, I with assorted crafts and our children over time creating works in clay, mixed media, bronze, glass, digital media, and print. sometimes as hobbies, other times professionally. Bob's creativity and encouragement have been sustained through the generations, now including his great grandchildren."
