Officially known as Dr. Robert Alexander Kolb, Jr., he was the author of the passages in the beginning of each of her books. He had completed these for the final two books before he was taken suddenly to Heaven in 2011.
Bob was a retired Pedodontist—a dentist and specialist in the care of children, very especially difficult children with behavior problems and, too, those who were ill. He had a private practice just outside Philadelphia. He also gave his time on occasion in several well-known hospitals. After Bob retired from dentistry, he became a woodsman on their beautiful property in the woods of New Hampshire on Balch Lake.
He and Jan are the parents of six grown children, one son and five daughters.
