During the early 1970’s, Bob accepted an opportunity to move his family to Thailand, where he worked as a visiting professor with the US Agency for International Development for 2 years. This around-the-world experience revealed a world much larger to Bob and his family. He continued international work which took him to Ecuador, Bangladesh, and the Dominican Republic.
