Ballet of Violence

Bob and his wife, Dee Dee, had been taking in troubled youths since 1970. “It started out with one foster kid in August. And then they wanted me to come down at Christmas to the Riverside County Court to interview another kid. So I came home on Christmas Eve with three more boys. We had only planned having one kid, but we ended up having Christmas for four kids. That’s how it got started and it grew from there. It grew to where we had 18 boys at a time. It was great and I miss those days.”
