Aw, geez.

Bob McPherrin, VP of Sales and Marketing at The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, has departed. Handsome Bob, he of the easy smile and the congenial manner, will no longer be seen at the ladies luncheons or society galas happening at the Grapevine landmark. Darn.

Bob had been with the hotel in the same capacity since it opened in April 2004. He has joined most of the hotel’s original senior management team in waving goodbye to the hotel in their rearview mirrors.
