I am so sorry to hear about Robin's passing. I became acquainted with her through my job at WSU Energy Program. She really cared about people and their stories, even though she had struggles and challenges of her own. She had a great sense of humor and took life as it came. Condolences to the family. She treasured reconnecting with you the last several years.
