It’s been way too long since we had the chance to sit down and chat with our dear friend Bob Hoover... and Oshkosh hasn’t quite been the same he passed away in the fall of 2016.

Now... the folks who him best get to tell their favorite Bob Hoover stories and Jim is collecting the best of them in a book to be entitled, “Friends of Bob.” The book is creating a LOT of anticipation and has already earned the endorsement of the Bob Hoover Legacy Foundation, who will be introducing the project at the annual Bob Hoover Dinner at Oshkosh in less than two weeks.
