So sorry to hear about Ms Archibald. When I first met Bob we had a mutual friend in Cecil Shepherd, boy were they opposites, but they had lots of fun together with their stories. I worked with Bob many years ago at Ia Power and Light until his stroke. Then for a couple years enjoying the times we had in the rehabilitation process. Bob was a fighter but Ms Archibald was in charge! She planned, organized and kept the everyone in line especially Bob. She was one of the most encouraging and hopeful people I have ever met. Remember the past and cherish your memories.
