Robert is a descendant of George Soule, who sailed on the Mayflower as the indentured servant of George Winslow. In this recording, Robert offers to an unnamed audience a brief genealogical history of the Soule family from Duxford and Dartmouth, Massachusetts via Clough Corners, New York to Ionia County, Michigan and the Tri-Cities of Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and Ferrysburg. He concludes with a brief history of his mother's side, the Linn family. Colonel Soule retired after twenty-eight years in the US Air Force, and served on the Ottawa County Road commission, as President of the Tri-Cities Historical Society, and as a member of the Spring Lake Heritage Foundation and the Spring Lake Rotary Club. He received a master's degree from the University of North Dakota and completed post-graduate work at Cambridge University in England.
