After reading about this post, I felt this needed a special place of its own....... if you are interested in rebuilding Bobs wagon, join in or offere suggestions, I just wonder if Bob would have changed anything on his design!?

I would urge you to hold off until consulting Bob. He may not wish to continue. Should he want to go on, IMO a serious rethinking of the design is in order. The old wagon was just too big, too wide, too heavy and too slow. A complete new design, with new materials is I believe, in order.

I noticed a post from Bob's mother that while the family appreciates all of the offers of help, to please hold off on starting anything. A push for a new vehicle has got to come from Bob, and she mentioned that it's a long way away. As of now, he doesn't even know that two of his girls are gone.

Hi Everyone,
I need to talk to you all about something that was mention in the Guest Book awhile back. i can't exactly remember who proposed the idea, but i do need i feel to address it for Bob for the time being. One, just wonderful person or persons, mention the idea of rebuilding Bob's RV. It is a lovely idea but, please don't get me wrong and we really appreciate the thought, but i think we need to wait till Bob is stronger and is able to cope with things now and before. You have to think, he has just lost a week of his life, and I feel that the jester, might make him think he has to do this when he would not be ready phyically and mentally. Maybe down a road abit, when he stronger and will take time, we could approach him then or perhaps he might mention it himself. Now i feel, it is not the right time to even mention it. I thank you for thoughts and wishes and caring, but please be patient with him and us. This comes from the family, and we do thank you much for caring. You all have become our family too. Please bear with us,as we too, have to take one day at a time and sometimes i get aliitle impatient. Patience, is very hard for me, but i am learning. love you all.
BARB SKELDING

Hi Everyone,
Things I think are looking up. I haven't talked to my daughter, Cathy, but i did talk to Bob's nurse and he is improving dailey. He might be able to talk soon, we will see, but at GOD'S GRACE, HE IS ALIVE. Bob doesn't know Deedee and Dolly are gone yet, We haven't been able to communicate that to him and at this time, I don't think he needs to know that yet. Later would be better for him, you all know how he loved them so much. Clementine is with Cathy and her poodle, Muffin. Clementine is doing well. I wish I could tell you more, but that is all I have for the moment. Just know each and everyone of you, that your prayers have been answered. If anyone tells you that the power of prayer, does not matter, tell them, THINK AGAIN.
And I want to say to Al, you wrote the most beautiful poem, that someday with be set to music, you better get a copyrighted. love you all.
Barb Skelding,
mother

i agree with the people on this site.....hello barb..i met bob in cicero new york...i road with him for 3 hours along new york state route 31...i was scared but yet felt great ridding along the road with the sun in my eyes and those 4 beautiful horses infront of me...as a matter of fact i told bob where it might be good for them to pull over for a night,,and it worked..we talked and hung out...i petted all the horses , fed them apple from my moms apples trees and when when visiters came up i was able to explain where bob was from and what he was doing i knew all the horses by name and even clementine...i feel terrible that this happened and may bob get the rest and care he needs,,,,i feel bad for dollie and deedee the two girls i have pictures with and it brings tears to my eyes...i know that doc and joyce are in good hands they are also in my pictures...i would really like to talk to you barb hopefully you/she will see my reply...cabwolf64@hotmail.com is my e-mail...i just want someone to know that i really care...and just want to share the expierence that i had with bob, the horses and clementine with someone that cares! clementine even came and played with my doggies...please barb i am sure your busy with working and such but please get intouch with me... and by the way it might be a good idea to wait and see how bob feels when he feels better and what he is thinking before everyone sets up his new ride...he might just want to rethink a few things..knowing that everyones heart is in the right place,,,its up to bob to take the next step when he is out of the woods and feeling better..just a thought!  |

I think we were all so grateful Bob is alive and feel so helpless we got carried away with wanting to replace what he has lost. Of course, we need to back up and just pray for his recovery. He doesnt need any more pressure. God knows we are all just so wound up with praying and pulling for him.

Me too!! I think all of us know how horses get in our blood and I believe if and when Bob is able, He will want to be back on the road. Just after reading Barbs post, Thought maybe we were putting too much pressure on him. Know he has a long road ahead but Know how much this trip meant to him and he has touched so many lives.
