T206 SL brown Old Mills

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.

Very sad to hear of this. He was on the board less than a month ago. Bob was always a very nice fellow collector on the board. I am fairly sure he and I had a few good communications over the time he was here. And 72 is way too young. RIP Bob....

And I am going to lock this thread out of respect for Bob, since another one announcing the sad news has been started
