Woody McEvers, Coeur d'Alene council member and long-time owner of the Rustler's Roost (RE: Mr. Hospitality Bob Templin, 93, RIP):

"Bob came by Rustlers Roost just after we opened the new location in 2008. He had with him an small old photo book with Polaroids pictures from the Grand Opening of the Great American Restaurant in 1974. We had been in that old restaurant since 1993. Bob sat down with me and shared many stories of that restaurant, the food and the employees. He was sharp as a tack and we even talked about a refrigerator unit that we still have from the original restaurant.( It has been rebuilt a couple of times). Bob went out of his way to share those stories and photos and I will always be so grateful to have spent that time with him. RIP Bob."
