There was a recent article in WoodenBoat on Mr. Whites boats.
Unfortunately I am not sure of the issue number.

I am of the impression that Robb White is/was not on good terms with his
father, who essentially abandoned the family to go West. The family had
extensive lands in the south, and apparently Robb (the younger) is heir to
at least some, although not a wealthy person.
Robb is "dead on" with a lot of his observations on backwater life in these
parts. His boats are artworks.
No email address, and he has quit listing his phone too.

Judging by the quantity of his output, I assume the younger Robb White
does not indulge in the internet.
