And for anyone else with a Roble connection, feel free to become a member of https://www.facebook.com/groups/18621693619/ - I know JJJ is there already.
For anyone who happened to live in Roble 1982-83, "Roble Rhymes"--the name of the Facebook group mentioned by Robbie--was the title of a three-song cassette tape that I co-wrote that year with another Stanford friend. I walked around the dorm and sold copies for something like $5 each to try to recoup the recording costs (which is why we titled it "Roble Rhymes"). I'm still looking for a copy of the cassette so that I can send a digitized version of the recordings, just for kicks, to Sanjay, the moderator of the group. Of course, I know that it's a longshot that anyone would still have a copy, but the greatest upset ever was equally unlikely in the eyes of many.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
