Childhood

Our younger daughter, Robin, was born in Colombia, South America, where we were still serving as missionaries. We lived in a rural area in central Colombia until she was 10.

After we returned to the United States, she was home-schooled through high school.

Education and Interests

Robin attended Mountain View College for two years, then transfered to the Southern Methodist University (SMU).

On May 14, 2005, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from SMU with majors in Anthropology (with Departmental Distinction) and Foreign Languages, and minors in Latin American Studies and Women’s Studies, along with a whole list of awards and accomplishments. Her French studies included two summers in France, where she demonstrated that she is also an accomplished photographer. She is pursuing a Masters in Social Work, begun at the University of Texas in Arlington this past fall. Long term goals include doctoral studies.

Robin enjoys languages. She is fluent in French, Spanish,and American Sign Language, and has also studied some Chinese and Arabic, mostly for fun.

Robin's two canine companions are her joy and delight. Abri is a medium sized black lab/ Border Collie mix who eargerly guards Robin. Robin's second dog, Buddy, is a big black lab, an 80 lb. teddy bear who is calm and good with small children and people of all ages. Buddy's passion is eviscerating stuffed animals.
