My Dear Friend Bob. An Ode to Robert Duca opus 140
| 15 July 2023 1445 Hours | | Friendship, Conservation |
My dear friend Bob, I got to know
By fishing a pamphlet out of a Post Office trash bin.
He was a developer, advertising his wares--but he was an enlightened Democrat.
He built hundreds of houses--but he was a Humanist.
He carefully cleared lands for communities--but he was a Liberal.
He gently competed with Nature--but he cared for Sage-grouse.
Bob has a beautiful complex personality
And he is able to communicate with almost anyone
To get his points or thoughts across to reach his ends.
Bob has helped me to save thousands of acres for wildlife,
Shifting 'developing' properties elsewhere, in order to leave open space.
People ask, 'You work with a DEVELOPER?'
YES. He is balanced and enlightened and I would trade him for no one!
Thank you, Bob.
