Robin Strauss's Page

Hi Robin- Congrats. Good luck with the Grandma title. It truly is a wonderful thing. I'm so happy that my grandson lives with in driving distance. Around 2 1/2 hrs. The grow so fast and change so quickly. I never thought about it as being advantage of growing older. Great new perspective. That too will keep me young.

I think I might be confusing you with someone who would have been in my grade. Since your sister was in my grade, do you think you could ask her if she remembers a girl named Robin. Her last name was Strauss, Stevens or Sternstein. I think she moved to Chicago before she finished school here.

If you could find out that would be fantastic. If not that's o.k. too.

Good luck and say hi to your sister from me.

Welcome. Hi Robin it's Ronnie Slapo. Are you the same Robin (Strauss/Stevens?)

Hello Robin,
I agree that we received an amazing education. When I tell people about the art and music classes we had and learning french through the years they are in disbelief,

What are your children up to? I never married. I was very focused in graduate school and then when I did receive my doctorate I wanted to "make my mark" on the world, so to speak. I have had wonderful relationships and am in one now but at this point in my life I think I am too old and set in my ways to think about actually marrying any one.

I keep in touch with Nancy (Schachter) Barr. Nancy seems to keep in touch with a lot of people like: Robert Seuss, Mitchell, Susan Berman, Andy Tivoli, and several others. Nancy lives only 3 hours away and we have visited a few times since I moved back to California. She has also visited me when I have lived in other places.

My folks moved down to Florida about 14 years ago. My Mom passed away about 4 years ago and my Dad still lives down there. He will be 86 years old this December! He was hotly pursued not long after my Mom died by all the older women. It is not often that they find a man that can see, still drives, and has his wits about him. He didn't have a chance. About 2 years ago he moved in with his new lady friend - she lives in another condo on the other side of the pool from where my folks have their condo.

Jack and Steven are doing well. Jack lives in WA and has 2 sons. Steven lived in CT for many years and then got tired of the cold. He sold his home and moved to the Big Island in Hawaii.

More later.
M-

Hello Robin
How are you? I am so glad you contacted me. I've been wondering how you were doing and poof, an email from you. I really have Nancy Schachter to thank for that because she convinced me to join. I'm on the computer a lot during the day so it is hard to get enthused about getting on the computer in my free time. So if I don't respond right away, don't give up on me. I'm living in California now. I moved to Mariposa (gateway to Yosemite) a little over a year ago from Washington State. It is really beautiful here. I work for the County of Mariposa Public Works Department. So far my job is secure but one never knows in these uncertain times - especially in CA. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Robin,
You DO look exactly the same--amazing.

I am married, living in Westchester, and have a 15 year old son. I went to Cooper Union and own a marketing communications firm in Manhattan.

Nice to hear from you.
Susan
