Robin Goodfellow

Forever remembered! Listen to her 1963 performance at the Cabrillo Festival (link below).

I started to write a story of Robin and my friend ship from fifth grade but somehow it dropped off the page so this will be shorter. I miss her to this day and so sad that circumstances did not give me the time or ability to visit her after we have re connected and talked about me coming. My mother needed me full time and that is what kept me from visiting my dear friend. When I found that Robin had passed I was devastated. At a high school reunion I passed the information and so many of her...

So many years have passed and you are never forgotten.

Thank you for the light and joy you brought to this world, Cousin Robin!!

Rest in peace Robin, you will be missed. I have so many amazing memories with you from recorder lessons at a young age to you sharing my wedding with me. The paper box and whole punches there too.
