I remember Bob (Thrun that is) from what seems to me like the dawn of time. During the mid to late 60s the Washington DC area cavers were an odd lot, lots of CIA spooks and autistic technogeeks like Bob. He took caving very seriously and was methodical in all matters. Having a peach imspediment didn't help his social skills. I remember him attending what amounted to an orgy during which he sat staring straight ahead for hours while everyone around him was busy screwing and hallucinating. I last saw him a few years ago at the Old Timers Reunion. He sat staring straight ahead as before but while wearing only a bra and panties. I also remember Bob (Thren that is) and Squire Lewis at the PSC fieldhouse in Germany valley WV in about 1967. Bob was great but Squire Lewis and I almost got into a fight. He tried to throw me out of the fieldhouse because I had long hair. He apparently thought of himself as another Ken Kesey, the High Priest of all things cool. In his opinion I was just a punk and hadn't yet earned the right to grow an afro much less stay at the fieldhouse. One more name for the Lutz memorial rock. Soon we will need a bigger rock Sleazeweazel In a message dated 3/1/2017 3:55:43 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, youn...@centurytel.net writes:
I thought that perhaps Shrewsbury had misspelled the name. I inquired and received this reply: Hi Sam, It is Bob Thrun, of Maryland, and a caver who primarily pushed stuff in West Virginia. Bob Thren, as you know, is another person. Wm Now, does anyone know whatever happened to Bob Thren? He was from Pennsylvania, I think. .......
