I am so sorry to hear of Howard's passing. He was always a favorite of all my Robbins first cousins. My Mother (and Nancy's) was Marie Robbins Adams. My name is Bob (also called Bobby) Adams. Gladys may remember me from my youth - I lived around East La Porte and Cullowhee. Now I live in Huntsville, AL and am retired from NASA and the Boeing Co.
Our prayers are with all of you!
