[Left to Right]: Johnny Varro, Paul "Snook" Neal, Bob Thomas & Bobby Hackett "jammin' at the Wigwam."
Bob Thomas, a self-described "curator at heart," was driven by an "insatiable appetite to remember things that would
be lost" if he hadn't preserved them in his series of Columbus Unforgettables books or his regular "Columbus Recollections" newspaper columns.
Bob's mission to "remember things that would be lost" was also the spark which led to the founding of The Columbus Senior Musicians Hall of Fame, Inc., an organization that will continue in his memory.
