Jeff, this was was a wonderful read, I could not put it down. I really felt I knew this young man from your descriptions. One question I had was whether he was recruited or even noticed by the Medical Community for a fellowship or any type of position?
Jeff Hobbs
Hi Rosemary, thanks so much for reading, and for your kind words. He was a really good dude. I'm not sure about actual recruitment, but I know that when he worked in the med school lab, there were a few efforts made on his behalf in this regard. But during that time, as you read, he was quite focused on getting back home for a time to be near his family. By the time he was mentally ready to move in that direction, those offers had expired, and he wasn't the kind of guy who asked for help. All the best, Jeff

Hi Jeff, we discussed the "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace....." at our discussion group on 2/21/17. Many interesting questions came up in regards to race, class, wealth, privilege, etc. Lingering questions for me are as follows: 1. Is the scholarship still in effect? Truly a way to honor Mr. Peace and assist a young person. 2. Did Rob's mom receive any financial contribution from the book? Thank You!

Dear Mr. Hobbs, I just finished your book and can tell you that it will haunt me for a long time. Your tireless effort to tell Rob’s story is an incredible testament to your friendship. I can’t even begin to imagine the ongoing grief that continues with all of Rob’s family and friends. Can you tell me what house is on the cover of the book? It doesn’t seem to be the house on Chapman or Smith. Thank you.

Dear Jeff, Thank you for your excellent book on Robert Peace. I must say I felt profoundly impacted by the tragic story of Peace. It made me thinking about the root course of the Black Americans' predicament. I wrote a review on Goodreads. I thought I might just share it with you: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6780953123?book_show_action=false. Regards Yili Zhu from Australia
