San Andreas, CA...On Wednesday, June 14, 2017, a great man left this life and moved on to greater adventures. Robert Eugene Schmauder was born in 1937 on a chicken ranch in San Andreas, California. His mother always told the story that Robert was born on the 6th of September, but the doctor signed his birth certificate on the 9th of September. It isn’t any surprise though, that a man this wonderful had two birthdays. Robert spent the first part of his life helping his father mine for gold in the foothills of Northern California before joining the United States Air Force where he was in the band. He had the distinct honor of playing for the Queen of England, Nikita Khrushchev, and many other politicians and civilians alike. After the Air Force, Robert made his way with his family back to California where he worked for Howard Hughes, and was subcontracted out to NASA to help not only design, but build the thrusters for the Apollo Moon Landing.
