Bob Swanson was introduced by Bill Vandagriff who talked about memories of classes and experiences they shared as undergrads at Michigan State. Bob started teaching in Royal Oak in 1973 and has taught at 16 different Royal Oak schools. Working with elementary students has been his specialty and his students always spoke highly of him.

"I WOULD JUST PUBLICLY LIKE TO THANK YOU BOB FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE STUDENTS OF ROYAL OAK AND THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HERE."
