Bad Bob The Fool’s Errand
Bob Sutton—Old Fool with a Big Heart
From the start, Bob had ideas that pointed him in directions that veered from the ordinary.
Born in 1952, he first wanted to be an astronaut. Discouraged about the long wait before he could soar through space, he was an abysmal high school student. After being expelled, he talked his way into a new University of Tennessee honors psychology program led by the distinguished researcher and associate of Skinner, Harlow and Maslow, William S. Verplank. While minoring in chemistry and microbiology, Bob was most influenced by his study of Asian religions with F. Stanley Lusby from the University of Chicago. The interest in yoga he developed sparked a life-long interest in athletics that led to his being captain of the university gymnastics team and setting a Guinness World record in handwalking.
After graduation, Bob moved to California to study midwifery with the only male midwife in America, Norman Casserly. After traveling in the Pacific and Caribbean, he was recruited into a pioneering graduate program in medical ethics, where he met the head nurse of the critical care nursery who is now his wife. Together, they have reared Ellen, a graphic designer and journalist, and Alex, a senior in neuropsychology at American University, and they run an agency representing manufacturers specializing in energy conservation, pollution control, and heat transfer equipment. As avocations, Bob reads, writes, and works to improve his marathon times before old age catches him. There is talk among friends that his wife must be a saint to put up with his shenanigans.
