Bob Seiwell is forever shaking his head while smiling as he sits at UnTours Foundation board meetings. It’s not that we don’t follow the law, it’s more that Hal is guided by an internal compass while the law is something that just doen’t enter his mind — ever! Many of us are inspired to follow Hal’s lead. But Bob keeps us — and UnTours — on the straight and narrow despite ourselves.
