	Au Sable was never far from his mind and when Harold Snyder contacted him in 1973 to direct the camp program, the answer was an easy &ldquo;yes.&rdquo; At the same time God provided the opportunity for Bob to work as a head resident at his alma mater, a job that freed his summers to be in the North Woods. By 1977, the board expanded Au Sable&rsquo;s activities, and Bob was hired full time to assist in developing year round programming as Au Sable&rsquo;s first full-time employee.<br />

But most satisfying is to see the way this place has transformed the lives of hundreds of college students over the years, and to have played some small role in providing the environment where those changes could take place.&rdquo;</p>
