In 1985 Bob Horn founded RNLA and he was actively involved until his passing on Thursday, February 27, 2020. Many, from law student members to the current RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel sent their tributes and left comments praising Bob for a life well lived. At his memorial service all the great people who were in attendance from around the country, despite the fact it was at the start of the COVID-19 shutdowns, was a tribute to Bob . I sat next to Harvey Tettlebaum, who flew in from Missouri, but as I looked around the Temple there were RNLA leaders from the past and the present, young and old, all races, women and men, etc. It was a great tribute to Bob that he would have enjoyed.
