ROBERT K. HENKEL · A PERSONAL ARCHIVE
A life of ideas,
work, water & wonder.
A place to gather Bob’s story, the things he wrote down, and the photographs he kept — especially for his children and the generations after them.
A NOTE ABOUT THIS PLACE
Part story, part scrapbook, part notebook.
The files behind this site span decades: pictures of family and friends, early computers, boats and Key West, lists of goals, notes on living well, and articles Bob saved. Some are his own words; others are material he found meaningful. The two are identified separately throughout this site.

Keep asking questions.
Keep making plans.
Keep room for adventure.
Bob’s notebooks return often to learning, teaching, trying things, and getting out into the world. This site is an invitation to explore those threads and add context as the family’s story continues.
