wife Cathy (Climpson, class of 1982), who as an educator taught the love of science
until recently retiring. Robin and Cathy’s enthusiasm for ORU was passed on to their
children, three of whom followed in their footsteps also attending ORU (Andrew, class
of 2010; Courtnay, class of 2011; and Victoria, who went on to graduate from Old Dominion
University in 2017. Their youngest son, Philip, is a 2014 graduate of Southeastern
University where he was recruited to play soccer.) Married for more than forty years,
together they enjoy making time spent with family a priority. They often gather for
ski trips or travel Europe where Robin has completed three cross-country cycling tours.
Robin and Cathy have three grandchildren, attend Riverbend Church, and continue to
actively serve and support the community they love
