37621. Robert Arlen "Bob" Carpenter

NAME:
ROBERT IS ALSO KNOWN AS "TOBY" AFTER TOBY TYLER AN ACTOR OF THE DAY.  TOBY IS ALSO KNOWN AS BOB,  MARRIED TWICE THE SAME LADY - EDITH WINN (FISHER) ON 8 AUG 1964 AND 16 Dec 1983.  HE LEGALLY ADOPTED HER 2 KIDS.  BETWEEN ABOVE MARRIAGE DATES WAS ONE BRIEF MARRIAGE, BUT NO OFFSPRING.
NOTE: Edith first married Billy Erwin Fisher.  Billy was Bob's half brother from their mother's first marriage.

HISTORY: Robert grew up in the farming areas of North Dakota and Minnesota.
One of his first jobs after working on the farms was for a company looking for
oil and gas in the Dakotas.  He would help drill the holes and load them with
dynamite.  The shock wave would be registered electronically to search for
pockets of gas and oil.  Some times debris would clog the holes and the
dynamite would not go down all the way.  One day such a thing happened and the
hole exploded upward like a giant shotgun.  Toby watched for the rain of rocks
and dirt.  A hard hat would only protect you so much.  High up in the air he
saw a small speck.  The speck grew and grew getting larger.  He suddenly
realized that the rock was heading straight for him.  He barely had time to
get out of the way before it crashed to earth near him.  Later, during the
blasts, he rested underneath the crew trucks to avoid the "rain."
Robert served in the U.S. Military in Korea after the Korean War.  One of his
jobs was to go find old military positions and recover or destroy weapons and
supplies left behind.  During one of these trips, he met an "Atomic Cannon" or
an eight inch howitzer with gun carriage that could fire an atomic weapon.*
Unfortunately this was on a narrow dirt and mountain road.  He skidded to a
halt and barely avoided being run down.  Luck was with him for he stopped in
the only place for a hundred yards that prevented him and his fellow travelers
in the jeep from crashing down hundreds of feet down the very steep hillside.
How close was it?  Two tires were off the edge of the cliff and the jeep was
rocking slightly on a pile of dirt on the turn out!
Robert worked for San Diego County for many years before retiring.  He worked
on maintaining roads for the Road Department, then for the Honor Camps (like
his brother) then for the Sheriff's as a Correctional Counselor in the jails.
He is currently living in San Diego, San Diego, CA with his wife.  7/2000 JRC
* Note: While the M65 Atomic Annie Cannon was deployed to Korea after the fighting was over, it was a 240 mm (11 inches) cannon with a length of 84 feet and a width of 16.1 feet.
He more likely encountered a towed M115 (8" or 203mm) howitzer. That was only 40 feet long. And it was
later capable of firing an atomic shell.

OBIT:
Robert “Bob” Carpenter 9/20/1934 – 4/28/2011
Bob Carpenter was born in Moorhead Minnesota on September 20, 1934 and passed away Thursday April 28th with his family at his side.
Bob was raised in North Dakota, and from his youth he was a hard worker on various farms around his hometown of Arnegard. He joined the army at the age of 18 and worked as a surveyor in Korea during the war there. Upon returning home he ultimately moved to San Diego where he found the weather far superior to his boyhood home in North Dakota.
In 1964 Bob married Edith Fisher and quickly adopted her two children from a prior marriage, Marjie and Chuck. Bob and Edith delighted in travel and visited much of the world including Europe, Australia, China and more.
Bob found work with San Diego County and started attending night classes at San Diego State. He received a Bachelor's Degree in psychology and went to work for the San Diego Sheriff's Department as a Correctional Counselor. He retired after 25 years with the County in 1990.
He remained active in retirement and served as the Executive Director of the Nonprofit Federation for Housing and Community Development. In this position he helped to develop resources for low income housing.
Bob was the founder of the San Carlos Club of the NAIC and taught investment strategies in his and Edith's home for many years.
But Bob's biggest investments were always in the people around him. He had a knack for helping those who were stumbling and providing greater inspiration to the successful.
There will be an open house for friends and family to celebrate Bob's life at Featheringill Mortuary on Monday, May 2 from 4-8pm. Featheringill is located at 6322 El Cajon Blvd.
Bob was a past president of the Mount Helix Toastmaster's Club, and they will be hosting an evening of fun and remembrance at 7pm on Wednesday, May 4th. The club meets at the Otay Water District, 2554 Sweetwater Springs Blvd in Spring Valley.
Bob is survived by his wife Edith and two children, Marjie of Salt Lake City, Utah; and Chuck of Smyrna, Tennessee, and his wife, Rebecca and Bob's granddaughter Elizabeth; Bob's brother Richard, and nephews, John and Richie; nieces, Linda and Ruth.

In lieu of flowers the family encourages you to donate to your favorite charity in Bob's name.

Hello,
I've seen several of your postings at genealogy and ancestry. com, and just wanted to correct 2 little things that I've noticed.  You have Charles Herbert Carpenter, my grandfather, married first to unknown Marzora?. Her name was Marie Louise Marzano, now Swaim (still living). Also, you have Chuck's second wife as Jan Jacobs. His second wife's name was Jane, but my mother never knew what her surname was.
Also, if you're interested, Chuck's children are John Robert, David Paul, Marilyn Louise, and Wanda Renee.  The fifth child, Mark Andrew, was adopted by my mother at 3 years old.  Apparently, Chuck never believed Mark was his, and Marie was going to turn Mark over to his babysitter to live. When my parents learned this, they drove to Virginia to get Mark and adopted him shortly thereafter.
I don't remember all the names of my cousins, but I do know that John married a woman named Margie, Dave married Kathy Akre, Marilyn (my mother) married Tony Elrod, and Wanda first married Bob Wissler, then Karl Gersdorf, and she's currently married to Neal Lincoln. Wand'a oldest daughter is Lynette, who is married and has 2 little boys, but I don't know her husband's or sons' names. Mark has 5 children; the oldest is Mike Anthony Jackson (mother Beverly Jackson); the next 3 are Cody Wayne, Rebecca Marie, and Ronnette Lee Elrod (mother Donnette Adele Stricler); the youngest is Dustin Mark (mother Kelly Thomas).  Mark never married any of the 3 mothers, but 2 years ago he married Arlene (don't know her last name), but they're on the verge of divorce. Mike lives near his mother in Montgomery, AL; Cody lives with Mark in West Palm Beach, FL; Becca and Ronne live with my parents in Gadsden, AL; Dustin lives with his mother and stepfather in Georgia.
Hope this helps you,
Amanda Elrod

Subject: Sorry for the delay
Pat,

I've read nearly all your writing. I can only say: Thank you so much for
all the reading pleasure you have given me and all the rest of your fans.
I can only immagine how difficult it is to keep dreaming up all the new
material. Maybe what follows will help out a bit.
_________________________________________________________

The summer after I quit the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, found us
in Dickinson, N.D., working on my master's thesis research on mule deer
habitat ecology. One Saturday morning, my wife, Nita, and I decided to
drive down to Hettinger, our old posting and only a hour away,to visit some
of our old friends. When we got to town, the old jeep station wagon
headed, like a magnet, to Ira Martin's place. Nita and the kids went into
the house to visit Nora and her brood; while I headed into the garage where
I figured Ira would be. An explanation about the garage is in order.

Ira, although the local postmaster, had a side business: a fishing tackle
and bait shop which was located in his garage. When I first arrived in
Hettinger to work for the NDGFD, I discovered that the area boasted some of
the finest trout fishing in the region. Yes, trout fishing! The NDGFD
had discovered that trout would do phenomenally well in the numerous stock
dams in the region. Fly fishing only! I knew nothing of fly fishing, but
someone suggested that I look up this Ira Martin, reputed as the region's
finest fly fisherman, to help outfit me and show me the basics of the craft.
I found Ira that evening in his garage/tackle shop; he outfitted me; and we
talked fishing well into the night. We became the best of fishing buddies
and I soon became fairly proficient as a stock dam fly fisherman.

Now back to the garage. Ira was there and happy to see me. The subject
immediately got around to trout fishing;but, alas, all regional lakes were
muddied up by a heavy rain storm a few weeks before. But what the heck!
It wasn't long before we decided to drive up to Wolf Butte Dam for an
afternoon of fishing together anyway.

When we arrived at the lake I was really disheartened; for the water was
aalmost like cocoa. But since we were here, we would try it. Ira headed
south along the shore and I north, as was our custom. I fished my way to
the earth-filled dam and crossed to the other side on the top of the
spillway. You know the type of dam, heavy boards extended across the
outlet to keep the water level higher and more manageable. Water, about
shoulder level to me but on the apposite of the board wall, trickled over
the top board and spouted through knotholes, but my waders kept me dry.

I continued fishing my way around the lake, trying every fly I had: drab,
gaudy, dark, light, large, small, dry, wet, and nymph ...not a strike, not
even a bump. That water was so dirty, the fish couldn't see an inch away.
So in desperation, I tied on a huge black bass bug. I figured that if they
couldn't see the lure, they could certainly hear it. Yep, your right, I
didn't get a budge. It was getting towards evening, and I saw Ira woring
his way back to the car. So I headed back myself.

While crossing the dam (my eyes were nearly even with the water level), I
caught sight of a dorsal fin sticking up from the "cocoa" water. I
thought, what the heck, and slipped my net under the fish which turned out
to be a nice 16-incher! As I slipped it into my huge imported French
wicker creel (Ira made a mint on that sale, I'd bet!), I notied some
movement near the surface against the top board. I dipped out an even
bigger rainbow and soon learned that fish were stacked up in that dirty
water and couldn't see the net until it was too late. Yes, I know, not
very sportsmanlike, but that was not a serious concern, considering what I
was planing.

When I got back to the car Ira was having a beer while leaning against his
car. "Well, I told you this would happen", he said.

"What would happen?" I replied.

"That the fish wouldn't be biting in this kind of water".

"I thought fishing was pretty good", I lied.

"Don't tell me you caught a fish!", he countered

That's when I "gut shot" him with, "I even got my limit; and I knew that you
wouldn't catch anything, so I took a limit for you, too!" Remember, Ira
was my mentor. Everything I knew about troutfishing, I learned from Ira.
I emptied my creel onto the grass, and Ira's eyes turned the size of
doornobs.

"What in the world did you use for a lure in this kind of water"? I held
up my pole which still had the bass bug attached. Ira's chin dropped to
his chest.

All the way back to his house, Ira kept repeating, "I can't believe it, but
there's the evidence. I can't believe it, but...". I let him believe
that, maybe, his student has progressed much further than he had imagined.
We had a great, but nearly silent, fish fry that evening before we headed
home. We even had a lot on ice for later.

But wait! The story isn't finished. We returned a few weeks later and,
again, headed to Ira's. I was hoping the lakes had cleared enough to
catch a few legitimately. I also planned to tell Ira about the practcal
joke I had played on him. As before, Nita and the kids headed into the
house and I into the garage. Ira wasn't there, but another old fishing
buddy, Lloyd Schoeder, manager of the local coop grocery, was watching the
store. He informed me that Ira and one of his boys was off catching
minnows for their bait business. So I asked him how fishing was.

He informed me that he hadn't been out for six weeks ever since that old
"gully-bustin' storm" muddied up all the lakes. "But no, wait, I did go up
to Wolf Butte Dam about three weeks ago, a Sunday it was. Ira was going to
show me and five other guys how to catch trout in that muddy water. He had
us flailing the water all day with big bass bugs. We never got a strike!"

I didn't dare to tell Ira after that. Ira went to his reward years ago and
never learned what I had done to hime . . . until now!

I hope you enjoyed the story. It's true, I swear it. Feel free to use it
if you like. If you do, it would be nice if you used Ira's first name,
anyway, I think he would like the notariety.

I probably have one or two more true stories tucked away, If you are
interested.
