Dr. Gobin was a very influential person in my life. I was one of his students and appreciated his courses. One thing I always admired about him was his gentle heart. I always remember how he fostered or maybe adopted children with Down syndrome. He would sometimes tote one of the babies to class with him because his wife was working. The way he modeled being a father and a husband made such a great impression.
