RIP danville 1K
 
Just learned from friends that Danville1k aka Bob Johnson passed a few years back. Bob was a top executive at Mervyn's and Trader Joes, and one of the only FTers that I have met in person outside of a couple of SFO DOs. You can read more about Bob in the book: Becoming Trader Joe.

This is sad news. He was a lovely man. We had several good conversations.

Had an enjoyable dinner with him many years ago at El Charro in Lafayette.

Ahhhh, that must be why I feel as though I knew him well. We have an overlap in the organic farming community and had some great conversations.
