Bob opened his first Estuarium in his home...Back then he called it an Aquarium...This was way before the State built the new aquarium in Charleston...He lived in a two story house in the old historic district of Beaufort...He lived on the second floor but the first floor was the most interesting place in Beaufort...He filled it with fish tanks...big ones...and they had to be saltwater tanks...because the critters who lived in them came from our salt marshes...Bob shared his knowledge by conducting tours for tourists and school children and anyone interested in preserving the wonderful wildlife we have on our coast...He visited schools and brought critters with him to spark interest in those children of the wonders of nature...After many years he found a building in Port Royal to house his critters...And he named it the Low Country Estuarium...You can see the first video which he has posted on You tube here...http://www.youtube.com/user/Mr1bender?feature=mhee#p/a/u/2/j8hOml_jEb4

Hi Bob, I worked at the Forum with you back in the day & I have wondered over the years what happened to you!! I was just telling a friend about your painted Nash Rambler station wagon. After googling 'Bob Bender' several ways, I have found you on Ron's blog. I am very glad to hear you have found a great place to live & love of the critters in your environment. I am living in the Asheville area & have the same love for my little (mostly) neighbors.
Take care, Becky Dimmery
