"Buz" and Paul Herrod, North Little Rock attorneys. They developed a friendship and brotherhood which endures beyond the grave. Robert was a student of the written word. He read everything he could and died in possession of one of the finest private libraries of which anyone would be proud. He was particularly fond of Victorian-era British History. He was also an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman. In the mid 1980's he was raised a Master Mason at Big Rock Lodge #633 in North Little Rock, Ark. He would later be initiated into the Arkansas Scottish Rite as a 32nd Degree Mason.
