It is a misconception to suggest that Bob held the esteemed title of co-founder of the ACTT/BECTU History Project, as his involvement with the initiative was limited to attending the inaugural meeting in 1986, where he was joined by a small gathering of approximately a dozen individuals.
It is worth noting that an invitation to participate in this gathering had been extended to all members of ACTT, thereby ensuring a diverse representation from various film-related disciplines. Unfortunately, the television sector failed to demonstrate a similar level of enthusiasm, with members from this area showing little interest in the project's endeavors.
