Boulder Farmers' Market Today

It's a beautiful day to enjoy the Boulder Farmers' Market and also to celebrate the life of Bob Munson. A reminder that the Market will be donating a portion of today's proceeds to the University of Illinois scholarship that has been set up in his name, and you can also make a donation yourself at the Info Booth.  Here's what the Market says to expect produce-wise:

Farmers' Market To Celebrate Bob Munson

This coming Saturday, the 17th, the Boulder Farmers' Market will be a celebration of the life of Bob Munson. The Boulder community lost this extraordinary farmer and pioneering tech whiz on August 31st. Here's part of what the Market says (I particularly like the scholarship fund):

Boulder County Farmers Markets will donate 10% of the Boulder Farmers Market net proceeds that day to the Robert E. Munson University of Illinois Scholarship Fund, which the Munson family has set up to support future electrical engineers in his honor. Customers may also make donations directly to the Scholarship Fund at the Info Booth that day, or on their own accord (via The Robert E. Munson U of I Scholarship Fund, care of Premier Members Credit Union, 5495 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, Colo., 80303). 

Munson's To Continue

I was at the Munson farm stand at 75th and Valmont today for my usual hyper-fresh local corn fix, and they have a sweet chalkboard placed in front of the stand, thanking everyone for their kind words and condolences regarding Bob Munson. The board also notes that the Munson family tradition will continue, wonderful news for those of us who are addicted to that corn.

Article On Bob Munson

The Daily Camera finally got around to writing a full article on the remarkable life of Bob Munson. It was actually posted over the weekend, but this past weekend was a pretty busy one for me.

Tribute To Bob Munson

There's a touching tribute to Bob Munson in today's Daily Camera. Sorry I can't link to it, as it was placed by members of FIRST RF Corporation, rather than being a regular feature article. Bob evidently had a vast legacy in high technology, in addition to being a local legend as a farmer and family man. What a life.
