Special thanks and dedication to my parents: Andrew J. Robinson (1918-1998) & Helen Robinson whose experiences and values in life continue to fill me with inspiration and gratitude that I had such amazing people as my parents. Having had the benefit of their loving upbringing, laughter, and values, they have helped to give me my perspective on life & all of its difficulties and creative possibilities. There can be no greater gift than what they have given my in life.
