Prior to graduation, in the summer of 1976. Fr. Robbins gave me a prayer card. On the back he wrote The Secrets of a Successful Marriage. Signed and dated. I still posses that same card. Always remembering those words of wisdom. My wife and I celebrate our 40th anniversary in June. Fr. Robbins words were instrumental in never giving up, even under long odds. He will be missed by The H.C.H. Family. A great teacher, mentor, friend most importantly a great person. Your at peace in Heaven now Tom, God will greet you with open arms! The entire Brann Family...
