You who collaborate with me, know me, like me, and the family who love me—
you have witnessed these last 16 months… especially this past year.
My Big Baer went from being an accomplished professional—yet an anomaly to many—to becoming recognized as an American icon.
Through influence, divine alignment, and the endorsement of Moradeun Ogunlana, Bob’s legacy expanded into the professional, media, and social media world in ways none of us could have imagined.
As I forge his continued future and legacy, what better way to “kick off”
The Dr. Robert H. Baer Foundation & Memorial Scholarship Fund
than on my “BORN” day — February 21 — and throughout the rest of this month.
As you may recall, Bob was honored posthumously in New York City at the United Nations as a U.N. Ambassador of Peace.
His life and work are now being preserved through a permanent Foundation, Memorial, and annual Scholarship—awarded each year to one boy and one girl aspiring to become archaeologists.
For the next generation—
with a passion for the past,
to enlighten the present,
and reshape the future.
Now in 2026 — we begin.
Six continents. Seven decades.
Terrestrial and underwater archaeology.
Literary, military, educational, and diplomatic global impact.
His life is captured in his words:
“They who acknowledge the past are empowered for the future.”
My ongoing purpose is to elevate his past works, his forthcoming books, his media, and this Memorial Scholarship Fund for the rest of my life.
And I leave you with the words I wrote for him—and now for you:
“Be all the things you loved about the person
who is no longer among us in this world—
Their TRUE Legacy.”
If you would like to join me in honoring his legacy for my 72nd birthday,
details are in the first comment below.
As of Saturday, I am not simply a 72-year-old widow—
I am a Wife whose husband achieved his Wings.
