PAT ROBISON:  

Pat is from Salt Lake City, Utah but since 9/1970 has lived in Portland, Oregon. Pat's schools include Granite High School. Pat later attended Portland Community College. Pat worked at Marketing Manager for CableBus Systems Corp.; Catering/Event Manager for Embassy Suites Hotel, Greenwood Inn & Red Lion Hotel on the River. Retired, 2008. I have (2) children; Jimmy, born 1965 & Kelly Marie, born 1969. Jimmy works in sales/marketing, is separated & has a daughter who just graduated from the honors college at Oregon State University. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with degrees in biochemistry, molecular biology & psychology, with minors in chemistry & Spanish. Whew!!! She is due to take the MCAT exams in April & will, hopefully, be off to medical school next fall. In the meantime, she is working for several doctors at OHSU. UPDATE: Bianca was awarded a full-ride scholorship to Washington U Medical school, in St. Louis, MO., where she will work on her goal of becoming either an orthopedic surgeon or a reconstructive plastics surgeon. Jimmy's son played baseball for a juior college, but had a severe injury last year & afriad baseball is now over for him. He is a senior at Oregon State U. Both kids are totally bilingual, as their mother is from El Salvador. Jimmy lives in Beaverton, Oregon (as does my daughter also), a suburb of Portland. My daughter Kelly married her high school sweetheart right out of college. She is in education, teaching specialized reading & AVID courses to grades 6, 7 & 8 in a middle school located in Beaverton. Kelly has (3) children--the oldest (girl) graduated from Portland State University & works with special needs kids/families (Autistic). She is always looking in to programs/certification to advance her skills with th autistic--specifically with the non-verbal. Kelly's second daughter graduated in June from Oregon State University in Corvallis, in business design/management. She also spent time studying in Florence, Italy, recently got a decorator/design position at City Home in lake Oswego, Oregon. Kelly's son is a senior at the University of Oregon (yea, a Duck!), in Eugene, & will be graduating in Business Analytics in June of 2024. The two grandsons are best of friends & I think really miss each other now that they are at college in different cities. Since retiring, I spend a lot of time volunteering at the local grade schools (when not in a pandemic, that is), & love working with the kids. I also volunteer with Habitat...Expand for more
