But maybe that's because I identify more with Bobby than I do with Tom. Yes, Bobby, needles Tom and that can get on Tom's nerves at times. I'm sure I do a little too much needling of my friends too. Then they tell me to back off and that's fine with me because when it comes down to it I want to be a good friend to them.ToddHW wrote: ↑January 1st, 2024, 12:16 pm Here's Booby Merritt, chief friend and loyal fool. Little under 3 minutes total.

Thanks, Todd
More Bobby Merritt, please! I wish I could ask the authors for a prequel or sequel or both. I want to know Bobby's back story and what becomes of him after Anne and Tom build their nest.
I think Bobby is transplanted in NYC from the South. I think maybe Richmond VA, or Nashville TN. I'll bet he's following in his father's footsteps and that Robert Sr. was a respected and well-to-do doctor in whatever town Bobby is from. Bobby will probably rise to the post of Chief Surgeon at Mount Rose Hospital but when his father passes on Bobby willl move back "home" - with his New York born wife and kids - to provide the excellent care his father had done over the years. It'll be a tough adjustment for the Merritt's, but they'll make it work!
Am I close?
Thanks for the definition of "loyal fool". Happy New Year!
