#3 - Bob Cohen

What to say about Bob Cohen? 

Our friendship predates the newspaper.

The other foreigners I met knocking about Eastern Europe in the late '80s were an odd bunch: itinerant language teachers, folk musicians,  folklore researchers,  linguists, and other misfits.

That's a pretty good description of Bob.

As soon as we started the paper, I wanted to bring Bob onboard. The only reason we hesitated was because of his unreasonable demands to be paid. 

But it worked out in the end because Bob Cohen was our funniest writer.
