Robert Bair was born in New Hope, PA, in 1920, where he played soccer because there was no football program there. Following WWII, medical school, and marriage to Grace Conrad, the couple moved to Wellsboro in 1955, where they quickly became good friends with Don Gill.

After repeated requests to restart the football program in Wellsboro and Bair's promise to aid in any way necessary, Don Gill agreed. A football program began in 1957 with Dr. Bair giving free physicals and volunteering as the team’s physician. That first year the team did not play other teams. They built a program. The following year, 1958, the Hornets were undefeated.

Realizing Dr. Bair's community spirit, the school asked him to do more and more doctoring, which he did with pleasure, giving free physicals to all the sports' teams, both boys and girls, for each sporting seasons throughout the year. He also volunteered as a team doctor, attending many, athletic events, especially football, basketball, wrestling, and track.

Dr. Bair has commented on numerous occasions that working with the young athletes of Wellsboro has been one of his greatest pleasures in life.
