Why aren't you using as.character instead of drop.levels?

I'm using the package 'gdata' and 'drop.levels' in the following code as a
simplified example of what I want to do, pinpointing the issue of isolating
variable in a data frame:
/dfNamesAndHeight <- data.frame("Name" = c('Bill','Bob','Bo'), "Height" =
c(73,68,83))
name_Bob <- drop.levels(dfNamesAndHeight[2,1])
cat(name_Bob, " is a good guy.")
/
The output is "> 1 is a good guy". Print instead of cat returns ">Error in
print.default(xx, quote = quote, ...) : invalid 'quote' argument". When you
just enter 'name_Bob' the output is:
" >[1] Bob
Levels: Bob"
Is there any way to isolate 'Bob' without the 'Levels: Bob'?
