Robert's Story
Hello all (or those who may actually remember me).
Email me direct: rhopkin at gmail dot com
My "Then" photo above is Gary on the left, Me in the middle and KC on the right. Yep. I've put on a few pounds........Yikes.
One thing before I start. Please email or message me if you want to get in touch BECAUSE I have had a few guest book signings but this website wants me to "update" to a gold memebership before I can read them and frankly all that's happened since signing up to this is that I've been bombarded on all my pages with Singles Ads. I'm not the least bit prudish but I am happily in a relationship with a fabulous Scots woman and I'm only here to get back in contact with old friends......that's all.
See note below on how to email me.
I lived with my Mother Margaret in Lake Elsinore from 1986 to 1988 before moving to England. When we first moved to the area we lived in a house on the corner of Broadway Street and Jessica Street though later we rented a place in Canyon Lake. We had a small family business (Lakeside Hobbies) on Riverside Drive and then moved it to Mission Trail shopping center.
I was an absolute nightmare as a teenager so I was shipped off to stay with family in the U.K. in the hope that I would start taking responsibility for myself¿¿..Which kind of worked but most would argue I still haven¿t grown up including my ex wife.
Friends I used to hang out with were (Please excuse my really bad memory and misspelled names):
Gary Guest; Always annoyingly faster than me at off road racing but a cool friend....(update July 01, 2008 I located Gary on another website and have sent an email)
Thorn Beltramo; Owner of the infamous battle ship grey AMC Slobbit and also a cool frie...Expand for more

Kim Cejka: We went to the Prom 1987. I Remember Tom Hightower and his girlfriend were also in the Limo and I think the prom was at the Disneyland Hotel or something. HMMM maybe not but Disneyland was definitely involved.
Bruce; (Can not remember your last name. Only person I have ever met that was more chilled out than me. Your Dad was bad news I think, you deserved better Bruce you were a stand up guy and probably still are.
There are sure to be a few other people I will remember at some point if I think about it long enough. I met with Gary and Thorn once in 1991 for about 5 minutes on a visit back to the States. Well, it was before the Internet which is why we lost touch I guess.
If any one knows of these people, it would be kind of cool to say hello via email or something, just out of curiosity.
Today I live in Southern Spain and work in Gibraltar for a London based company that specialises in the Super Yacht industry. We have offices in London, Gibraltar, Costa del Sol, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Antibes and Monaco. I get to meet pretty interesting people and look around some huge private yachts. All in all it's completely different from Lake Elsinore and I never in a million years would have expected to have ended up doing this job in this country. I consider myself to have been very lucky!
That said I never forget where I come from and I have a lot of good memories from Elsinore!
Once again, if anyone knows where or how to get in touch with Gary Guest, Thorn Beltramo, Kim Cejka or Bruce then please pass on the message to them if you can. My email address is above or I can also be found at yachthelpgroup.com under the Gibraltar section of the contact page.
All the best to you.
