Hi--Although my PC is still disabled, today is my daughter Robin's birthday, and so I'm determined to write this blog celebrating her achievements even tho' typing is 
a frustrating attempt. I cannot reveal her age, but suffice it to say, she can join AARP. She is an amazing daughter and one of my best poems. Her work career has exceeded all my expectations. She retired from the USMC as a Lt. Colonel. She was an Ass"t. Secretary of Labor in Daddy Bush's administration. She was appointed by Jeb Bush after her retirement as the Executive Director of the Florida Dep't. of Veterans' affairs. She was instrumental in getting a national cemetery approved for So. Florida. On her watch a Veteran's nursing home was built and opened in Ft. Lauderdale with her name on the plaque. She also has her name on a building in Oneonta Unversity--Robin Ross Higgins Hall--her 
Alma 
mater where she was awarded an honorary doctorate. Her husband, Col. Rich Higgins has his name on a guided missile destroyer, the USS HIGGINS. During the present Bush Administration, she was appointed as an Ass't. Secretary of the Dep't of Veterans' Affairs in charge of all the National Cemeteries in the United States. She normally lives now in Tallahassee, but she does have a house and a ranch in Montana where is currently celebrating her birthday and the the holidays with her friends, her neighbors, my granddaughter, Katrina, and Sophie, Robin's dog. What more can I say but HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!
