For more than 56 years Bob Yearwood has thrived on seeing your faces and sharing your stories. We are gathering well wishes in all formats. Everyone from past, present, far, and wide is encouraged to participate.
Digital photos and audio/video recordings: email these to [email protected] by Fri., May 22. We will stitch them together into a video for the event that Bob can revisit later. Please limit recordings to a minute or so in length.
Physical notes, cards, and photos of you and yours (with or without Bob in the picture): drop them off at the parish house front desk or mail them to Bob Yearwood Celebration, Trinity Church Boston, 206 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA 02116.
If you want to do a digital photo or recording but lack technical equipment and skills, we will have a celebration station set up from 9-9:45 am on May 3, 10, and 17 in room LL-A (classroom in Undercroft). Come alone or with a group to take a photo or record your message for Bob.
If you’re at a loss for ideas, here are some prompts:
-
Identify yourself and tell us how long you’ve known Bob.
-
Talk about a funny moment you shared with Bob.
-
Show us a picture you drew of Bob.
-
Name what you think is Bob’s best attribute.
-
Share something you learned from Bob — maybe even set it to music.
-
What is Bob’s most famous/ well-used phrase?
-
What do you think Bob should do with his time now?
And remember, we will have one service (also livestreamed) at 10 am on Trinity Sunday, May 31, with a reception to follow to honor Bob. See you there!
