Bob emmett was my first cousin. I too was born in Mexico City, MX and I was raised there until I was 21. I moved to the USA, April of 1975. My mother, Elizabeth (Betty) Chase Robinson Stockdale was Bob’s aunt. My Mother’s brother, and sister, we’re 15 and 17 years older than she was. She barely knew them. Dorothy (Dodo) was Bob’s mother.I first met him when I was 16 in Victoria, BC, Canada. He was a happy, joyful guy, He kept my little brother entertained,I remember. May he rest in peace.
