Bob King Alive and Well in Rochester, New York

[David Prouty]

This past weekend I heard from a reliable source that Bob King of Rochester, New York had passed away. I have yet to hear any report that can verify this sad notice. Can anyone verify or disclaim this information?

Thank You,

I asked Obie about this and he said that it is untrue. Bob King is alive and well. Another gentleman, Mike Amico, passed away.

Thank You Richard !

Don't know how this works, but maybe we should change the title of this thread.

Oh fish.

I think you meant, "Gone Fish." (Of course, "Go Fish" would fit better, but if he's "gone"...)

p.s. - Glad Bob's doing OK.

But is disco still dead? I hope so.

[Kevin Connolly]

Disco still on the airwaves and on the pc. It's a great thing to know how to dance to. You never went home alone. :)

[Jonathan Townsend]

Dunno about disco, is that ABBA show still on Broadway?

The way this thread has evolved, I figure this is not inappropriate...
