Thoughts and prayers to all of Robin's family. When I stared working at the Middletown Area Chamber of Commerce a little over 11 years ago Robin was one of the first Board Members to stop by the office in the little pink house on Lake Street and welcome me to the Chamber. I really think she stopped to check me out, ha,ha. During her time on the Board of Directors Robin was the first woman Vice President. She also, was one of the directors who founded the ambassador's group. I will always remember are fun times working the Christmas Parade, Luncheons and Annual Dinner; her contagious laugh and boy could she sell the 50-50 tickets! Robin my dear friend rest in peace I know you are with the angels.
