  22. Bob Shope UTMB, Galveston 2001

  23. From messages received in Galveston • “He was the nicest, humblest, most self-effacing person ever…” • “He was unfailingly kind and generous…” • “He always made time for you, whether you were a student or the minister of health…” • “He was always reassuring, upbeat and helpful…” • “He was so generous, and that tended to rub off on others…” • “His enthusiasm and love for his chosen field were as infectious as the viruses he studied…” • “He was a catalyst of honesty, professionalism, and mutual respect….” • “He truly practiced the golden rule, treating others as he would wish to be treated….” • “We were blessed to have had him as a colleague and friend....”

  24. From messages received in Galveston • “…In the 1970s I went to YARU with a few viruses from Kenya and couldn’t be identified. I was new to the field and had little clue how to determine what these viruses were. Bob took me under his wing. He showed me the reference collection, inventoried on a huge Rolodex. We talked about the possibilities based on the source of the viruses. Bob stayed with me until 10 PM developing a testing plan and then drove me to my hotel. My head was spinning. Bob worked closely with me over the week until we had identified all of the viruses. The result was one of my first publications in arbovirology.…” • “…I well remember as a young nobody from the outback of Africa arriving to consult with Bob at YARU in 1975. I wanted some reference arbovirus reagents to take home with me, and having just met me Bob worked with me late into the evening freeze drying viruses and antigens so that I could leave with them on the following day….”
