Mrs Robinson I thank you for taking me, Dale and John to the IBM Country club to dive and swim. And you always treated me good although I never deserved it. All your boys are successful - all. Goodbye Mrs. Robinson.

Mrs. Robinson was a nice lady.I recall her driving a school bus . Prayers to her family. I also remember the time her husband was a news story on WEOK radio . Ted rescued at least one child on a cliff. They were both community activists.

I met Vi in the early 60s. She was welcoming and very funny. She and Ted welcomed George and I into their circle of friends, had many happy times together. We shared a duplex at LBI for many years. She was one of my best friends during those years. I have great memories of her wisdom and sense of humor. Her family and friends have lost a very special lady
