A fuller appreciation of Rob Stuart
A fuller appreciation of Rob Stuart. If you've used Schuylkill River Park, you have him and his wife Sarah to thank: http://bit.ly/tE9rVF
This post isnt' exactly about raising kids in the city. It's about a guy who was a trusted source over the years who died suddenly yesterday. His name was Rob Stuart. He and his wife Sarah led the fight to improve access to Schuylkill River Park.
I run over those CSX tracks into Schuylkill Park several times a week. Until I wrote Rob's obituary yesterday, I didn't even realize that I had him to thank for that.
This morning, I picked up the paper and showed the obituary to my son, who is 4. I pointed to Rob's picture and said, "This is a story Mommy wrote about a man who did good things for the city. I hope you grow up to do good things where you live, too."
I can't imagine the loss his family is feeling today, but any parent should be proud to have raised a son like Rob. If you'd like to read more: http://bit.ly/tE9rVF
