ROBERT W. ANKERSON '55

1959

The class was grieved to learn about ROBERT BARTLEY HARMON'S death by gunshot wound, an apparent suicide, on April 4. It is thought that health problems and the depressed economy, which has hit the automobile industry especially hard, were factors in the tragedy.

Last fall, Bob, a West Coast automobile dealer, won a cross-country race from Los Angeles to New York between vehicles powered by experimental fuels (he used sunflower oil in a jeep).

Bob was renowned in automotive circles for the vehicles he had manufactured out of his Placerville, Calif., plant since 1980. The Zeitgeist (German for "Spirit of the Times") vehicles, which were powered by adapted French diesel engines, got outstanding mileage and were praised for passing other automotive milestones. Bob also adapted generators that ran on salad oil to supply power to his home.

Bob is survived by his wife Myra and four daughters, as well as a brother and two sisters. Bob will be remembered as a good friend by many of us. The class extends its heartfelt sympathy to his family.
