Ray's Story

Hi, It's Ray Robins Some of you may remember me, or my brothers Randy, Rusty, step-brother Richard Roe or step-sister Sandy Roe. After moving away in Feb. of 66, then coming back for graduation in June, I have ended up in Holt, Michigan just to the south of Lansing, Michigan. I'm married to Gail and have two daughters, Kristen and Rebecca and now one grandson. I worked for Michigan Bell/Ameritech/SBC (now AT&T), the local phone company for 26 3/4 years. November 15, 2000, I retired from SBC. I went back to work at a small telecommunications company then ended up at Verizon Wireless and I am now retired. I've only managed to get back to Atwater three times since graduation. I'd love to hear from you and find out what's happened to you. While I was in the Army many years ago, in 1969, I was standing in a chow line, in Fort Benning, Georgia and Michael Prows walked up right behind me. Sometimes it is a small world. I'm still looking for a 1966 year book. My copy was ruined in a small flood and thrown away while I was in the Army in Vietnam. I borrowed one and scanned it and saved it to my computer. But when I transferred files from an old computer to a new one a years worth of backups was lost and so was the year book. I am in the Holt Lions Club and I am now a Past District Governor of District 11-C2, It kept me very busy. During my year as District Governor I visited Seattle, WA for the International Convention with 19,000 people from all over the world. In May of 2012 I was part of a Lions Eyeglass Mission to Latvia. I had a very busy year and a great time. I was the District Secretary for six years. after that (I'm lucky that technology has come along with spell check.)...Expand for more
I am also the involved in being webmaster for some Lions Club websites and Facebook pages and have one of my own, search Raymond L Robins on Facebook. Since I was involved in tech stuff, I became the Lions of MD11 IT Committee Chairperson in 2018. One of the things I did was to get the Lions in Michigan more involved in Video Conferencing. What was just supposed to be a sometimes thing for meeting and presentations turned into much more in 2019 -2021 so far. So I ended up at the right place at the right time. I have scheduled 100's of Zoom calls for other and been host and participant in so many I lost track.. I am also into photography and that's why there are so few of me otherwise, because photographers are always behind the camera. (Remember kids, taking a selfie doesn't make you a photographer.) My latest cover photo is of me with someone using my digital camera, since then I have upgraded to a Nikon Z7. We recently went to Ireland for 11 days. I took lots of photos there, check out FB for photos. My wife Gail is now retired also and that allows us to travel more. My daughter Kristen is an RN and has moved on to do contact tracing of Covid outbreaks for a medical company now My daughter Becca received her PhD in Neuroscience in September 2016, was a researcher at Temple University, then went onto a small company called Data Camp. Now she has moved onto a larger company called Microsoft.. She taught herself "coding" before and now she is in Content Development for training programs on Office Products. Things have been pretty good for me in life, had a few bad things like Gail's' cancer and mine. Got through both OK Hope to hear from some of you some time.. Ray Robins
