Bob Biller's colleagues and friends—they are one and the same—are still coming to terms with his passing on August 29, 2010. At two different meetings recently, those of the Board of Directors of the USC Retired Faculty Association (RFA) [Friday, September 10, 2010] and the USC Emeriti Center's Executive Committee [Monday, September 13, 2010], discussions of how to honor Bob spilled over from scheduled places on the agendas, springing up spontaneously and repeatedly at other points during the meetings. Each new conversation was about how to properly honor a person who loomed so large, literally and figuratively, in both organizations. As Jack Sanders, Secretary of the RFA, remarked privately: it seemed that Bob would always be with us. Apparently he is.
