He took regular trips to the great Madigan Hospital at Fort Lewis, Washington, both to call for the inmates and to have his adult and junior groups demonstrate. It was a rare experience in humility to swing with a partner whose both legs may be cut off anywhere from ankle to thigh, or who has any or all parts of an arm missing.

Dances Bob taught include American Indian Dances, American Schottische, Lariat Rhythms, and Muckleshook Stomp.
