Class of 1970 Reunion a Hit
4/30/2010
It has been forty years since the Class of 1970 walked within the halls of Robinson School yet many of them converged here once again for a brief reunion during the weekend of April 23 to 25. What better way than to express what happened than through the words of one of its members:
"It took forty years to get there and only four days to enjoy it, but what a reunion it was. For those that attended, you already know how wonderful and special it was. For those that could not attend, you were greatly missed and you missed a great time. After seeing the beautiful Robinson campus again, meeting the gracious Headmistress and her wonderful staff, and after visiting with my fellow alumni, I am so very proud to have gone to Robinson School. Thank you so very much." Susie Griffin
