>Bob was notorious for his design chops, but also for his messy office. Below is one of his early offices at National, where he won a contest from a newspaper for messiest desk. >Nancy recollects, “It was a San Jose Mercury News messiest desk contest. Someone entered a picture of his office on his behalf, and asked him if he won a big prize would he share it. >Bob didn’t know what the prize was at the time. >The competition was in no way up to his entry, so they gave him 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes. >The prize was for office furniture. Bob sold it to National and threw a pizza party with the money.” >The Sunnyvale Fire Marshal said he would cite National for the office. Fran Hoffart remembers, “After being told that his desk presented a fire hazard, Pease hung a smoke detector from the ceiling.”
