Roberta Jean Filomena – Sacco
Steve Rubin, Bob looked Robert and I straight in the eye and put his hand over his heart and swore he had nothing to do with it. This was done at a board meeting, so many people saw him do it. Not only that, but Mr. Griffith told us that Bob called him more than once to complain about us!
