Default sad news - the old Professor has left the building

Bob Manning, longtime collector and occasional poster here, died in March at the age of 72.

I learned this from my Davidson College alumni magazine. Bob taught physics and humanities at Davidson for nearly 40 years (including teaching me astronomy in 1979-80). He was an inspiring teacher and all-around good guy.

Bob's pride and joy was the 1952 Topps set, which he had begun as a kid, and more recently he had moved into collecting T206s.
