Remembering Robby - by Carl Wick
Robby completed a BS and Masters degree and was a social worker consultant for many years with the State of Ohio Department of Health.  He did a lot for many crippled children in the  Columbus area.

I personally recall Robby loved sports.  You no doubt recall that Robby served as the WHS basketball team manager all 4 years while in HS.  He was the best too.  Mr. Howell, I know, thought the world of Robby.  He had a chance, I also recall, to go out for BB manager at Ohio State.  I knew that he was going to make it but in the end he decided to not go out and instead focused on his studies.

I used to talk to Robby a lot about sports, especially the Ohio State Buckeyes, especially BB, & the Cincinnati Reds, two teams he loved.  I was a Cleveland Indian fan in HS so we'd kid one another about the Reds and Indians.  When I moved into the Dayton area in the mid-60s I became a Reds fan.  I told Robby this many years ago.  He laughed and said. "I told you so."  He was pleased.
