“UB gave our mother strength, confidence and
joy.”
In 2008, Sharon Bob Young, BA ’71 (left) and her late
brother, Richard Bob, BS ’67 (right), honored the memory of
their parents, Isadore and Ruth Bob, with a gift of art to the
UB College of Arts and Sciences. The sculpture—Cayuga
Lake Landscape, 2003—stands near the Office of Admissions,
where Ruth Bob worked for nearly 20 years. “The students
loved her as she loved them,” Young said. A higher education
specialist on policy and regulation, Young lives
in Washington, DC; her brother died in 2009.
