I only know Bob Roth from the Chantarella 6-month course I and Barry Wright were on with him in '77. Roth was one of several informal participant/leaders of the course. What I always found interesting about him was his similarity to Bevan in the following sense: on the 6-month course he was skinny as he is now (and looks virtually the same). Then I saw him a few years later and he ballooned by, literally, about 100 pounds. Then the next time I saw him he was back to being skinny. Bevan was like that in the old days but got stuck on the fat side, unlike Roth who got stuck on the skinny side. Question is: who had more fun: Roth or Morris? Is it better to eat like a pig and enjoy yourself even though you will die 3 or 4 years earlier than you otherwise would...or deprive yourself and get an extra 3 or 4 years of life and be able to climb up stairs without gasping? Fat Bastard: I can't stop eating. I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's someone I'd like to get in touch with and forgive... myself.
