Dean Robinson:  

I'm updating this for consistency and to get rid of obsolete events. For the latest go-to part Four. Here is Part One revised: Here are some high points: I graduated from the UW in 1973 in Microbiology, but the highlight was being a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and Army ROTC. I went into the Air Force, but didn't make it through flight school (Vietnam ended) and wound up in Air Force Intelligence service. After the Air Force, I got a Master's degree at the UW in Medical History in 1979. No jobs so I went to Dental school and graduated again from the UW in 1983. Tried Bellevue (my old office is UNDER the University Bookstore there) and we (married in 1985) moved to Californa in 1986. Partly for business and partly because my wife is from there (Belmont Shore) and she couldn't stand the weather in Seattle and frankly neither can I. I had a practice in Chatsworth, California for a few years and then did nursing homes, only,for about three years. I then started working for the Department of Corrections and now have about 18 years with them. I have worked in three different prisons. My other "job" is the Army Reserve, I have about 17 years with them and I just took over my unit, the 185th Med Co. We are a field Dental Company and the Army has sent us all over the world( Germany,Hawaii, Alaska,the Carribean and a lot dry, dusty, hot places). Next year I get to go to Iraq. I'll be promoted soon to full bird. I add all this for those who have been in the military, I know its not interesting to others, but its been a large part of my life. The comradery is the best part. Note: I never got to Kuwait, but I did make Colonel. I have two boys, one a senior in high school the other a freshman, both are tall, but my 14 year old, Erik, is 6'3". Erik is very social and a real daredevil, he recently broke his forth bone, this time his femur, by jumping off the poolslide and missing the pool. My wife, Chris and I spent four days at the Stanford Medical Center for that one. My oldest, Scott, is the shy, quiet type who makes excellent grades without trying. Scott is hoping to go to Stanford, but I'll settle for Cal Poly. Chris, isn't working now, but when she does she is a technical writer. She has worked for Cisco and Teridyne and is very good at it. She recently, helped one of our two schnauzers to give birth to four puppies. Luckily we finally found good homes for them. We like to travel. We really enjoy France and England. I personally really enjoy going to Disney World, but I think everyone else is tried of it. Chris and I have gotten back into rowing at a local lake and I recommend it to everyone. I would like to come to the 40th reunion, but the Army is sending me to Ft Polk Louisiana for most of September, so maybe I'll make the 45th. My best to all. Part Two Chris and I are coming to the 45th. I am ...Expand for more
