Bob's Corner
From our weekly issue dated January 14, 2009
Every four years a significant event occurs on Jan. 20. And this year that date will be especially significant as a certain person achieves a milestone.
This person has been acclaimed by many, although there are some who have made disparaging remarks. But that is understandable, as men of his stature and position often find themselves in unusual situations as they deal with public matters and people of many levels.
The man is, for the most part, a humble individual. He calls himself “greatly humble.” He speaks well of others. He keeps his desk neat and plays well with others. He tries to accentuate positive aspects of life and his daily business even in the face of disappointment and difficult challenges.
On Jan. 20, 2009 there actually will be some in the nation unaware of the importance of the date and the special circumstance that will be marked. Unfortunately that is the way it goes sometimes, and the man who will mark his exceptional day understands that without rancor.
On his most-unique day it is certain that the Man of the Hour will be blessed in his new endeavors. His family and friends will be especially pleased with his progress. And the man himself will take it all in stride.
Yes, Jan. 20, 2009 will mark the 65th birthday of Robert R. “Bob” Rodriguez, co-publisher with his wife, Jan of Illinois Valley News. They’ve been Cave Junction residents since February 1986, and are 30-year residents of Oregon.
And lest we forget, on the same day, Barack Obama will be inaugurated as president of the United States.
