Bob Gilham alive and well

Bob Gilham and Emmett Jaime III

Bob Gilham was my crew foreman before taking the very first buyout at the Los Angeles Times. A very soft hearted fellow and always a pleasure to work for. Bob shed a tear as his crew bid him farewell with a bottle of fine wine on his last day at the newspaper.


From Emmett Jaime III:

"Ed, thought you might want to put Bob's picture on your website to let other retirees know that Bob is alive and well and living in Lynnwood,Washington. They have been living there for 4 years before they lived in Garnerville, Nevada but wanted to be close to their son and grandchildren.

Bob said to say hello to all the people he used to work with and remember him. He retired in 1992 after 39 years working at the Times. Bob said he has alot of good memories and added that the Times "was great place to work at". When Becky and I come up to Whidbey Island we contact Gerda, Bob's wife, to let her know we are here and make arrangements to get together for lunch.

This past summer they have been busy traveling and going to Laughlin, Nevada. They will be going there again in 2 weeks and then again in November. I told them to let me know and I would let the guys that live in Lake Havasu know so maybe they can go and visit with the Gilham's and have dinner with them.

We ended our visit by making a date of getting together again next year when we come back up for the summer. With God's blessings we will see them next summer.

Take care and hope business is picking up".
