I knew Robyn since Overlook Grade school. She was fun and witty and had lots of energy. I am pretty sure, it was a long time ago, that her mother drove a convertible Corvette. A very cool car to a kid in grade school. Robyn and I met again in Chicago around 1988 or so. I visited her in her office high in the John Hancock building overlooking Lake Michigan. Cool car and even cooler office. She invited me to her MBA graduation at Northwestern. We lost touch after a while, as often happens. I ran into her again at Yorktown Mall (Chicago Suburb) in 1996, and she looked great and had recently bought a house in River Forest IL, which is a great location with large, stately, older homes. I will never forget she had the lead role in in a Baldwin class production of Annie Get Your Gun. She was very talented. Our Yearbook has no record of this, which is a shame. Buy you can see Robyn in this website link to the June 1977 Purbalite where she was voted ‘The Friendliest,” and she was. She will be missed.
