Wonderful article, Peter. I remember when All in the Family came on the air I was addicted right from opening music….🎶boy the way that Miller played. Songs that made the hit parade….🎼

I too was in college. I had two roommates: one from Chicago and one from Meridian, MS. They didn’t get it and didn’t like it. But it was my tv….. so I was the boss. I loved Archie and Mike in their opposing views of everything and who they managed to make a lot of it funny. A couple of years later I was working at CBS Sports when I got a private elevator ride with Carroll O’Connor in black rock. Bring only 5’2” I asked if he would call me “little foil”. He did.

Never did get to meet Rob. But glad you had a chance to know him and work with him. A very wise and talented man who sure knew how to predict the future. He knew 10 years ago the swamp we would be in today if that vile thing was elected President.

Thanks for writing so openly about him.

Hope you’re well!
