Congratulation Robin! I thought it was worth adding to this that Robin received his Emmy for work as a producer and that it was the Miracle on the Hudson episode on Dateline.
Some of us remember Robin as an important member of the men’s swim team in the 1990s. Often our KSC athletes are seen by the campus in that one demension when in fact they are very good students as well. It is great to see that Robin continues to be winner in his professional life.
Congratulations Robin, what an amazing thing. I didn’t think I would ever be able to say that I new an Emmy Award winner personally. Hope to see your name in the headlines many more times to come.
Cheers!
