was in college and planning to go to medical school, when he met, Lisa
Miller, a young college student from Rockford, Illinois. Lisa was
determined to get Bob to marry her, as she reasoned a doctor would
bring her prosperity. When Bob succumbs to Lisa's charms and they are

unsophisticated, however, and dumped her. Lisa tried to get back
together with Bob, but his pride was hurt and he refused to take her
back.
