Dr. Robert "Perk" Perkins

I have great memories of my time at Campbell College from 1972-1976. Dr. Perkins was my favorite professor at Campbell and infused in me the desire to pursue geology as a career. His love of geology came through with his teaching. He made you want to emulate his enthusiasm for the science.

We had a great professor to student ratio during my time at Campbell, but Dr. Perkins stood out above the crowd in my opinion. He hosted students as well as his beautiful wife Phyllis at his house many many times and that makes a great impression on students still working on what to do with their lives moving forward. Their kindness and openness was wonderful and refreshing for students. There was definitely love in their family and as students we were lucky to have shared in it.

My condolences to Phyllis and all their family members.

Rest well Dr. Perkins - a life well-lived!
