Hello All,
Sad news.
Michelle Turner wants me to pass on that Bob's condition has taken a turn for the worse.  The family has discontinued treatment per his wishes and he is in what they call "comport care" in a hospital in San Luis Obispo.  Bob's two adult kids and Michelle are allowed to visit. 
That's all I know for now.

Thanks Doug for keeping us in the loop in this sad situation. There are so many good times to remember about Bob Turner such as maintaining KEDC's transmitter and other technical stuff together, climbing the antenna tower on top of the speech-drama building to change guy-wire insulators and burning a pile of acetate shavings at midnight in the west parking lot from record-cutting lathes that KFAC had donated to the college. (There was a huge flash, a "whoosh" sound and everything was gone!) Bob, who threw in the burning match, barely got out of the way. Then years later, hearing him tell zany stories on how, when doing consulting engineering, he found some radio facilities in unbelievable disrepair because of either years of no maintenance or just enough patchwook to keep something on the air by bypassing all safety circuits. It was such a pleasure to know Bob and he will be sorely missed.

So very sad to hear about Bob Turner.  I remember when I started at Valley State Radio and TV, falI, 1968, I had an FCC 3rd class license. After a quick training session, Bob had me running the board on KEDC.  Such a great group to work with then.
RIP Bob
