He finally got called home.

My father has a great story about Roberts.

Supposedly, there was some big party having to do with a new interstate project or something back in the late 70's when my father was General Counsel to the Oklahoma Department of Highways. Roberts was one of the dignitaries in attendance -- there to see and be seen. Roberts had a couple of hand warmers in his pockets and was mingling through the crowd placing his hot hands on the folks who were in attendance.. guess that was part of his shtick. At any rate, he got to my father and placed his hand on his shoulder. My father, who had probably had a few too many, exclaimed "You just cured my hemorrhoids!" Fortunately, Roberts thought that was hilarious.
