To Harry, Tim, Jeff and the rest of the Robbins family: First of all, please know that my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. I feel so fortunate that I had the unique opportunity in June 1975 to work with Betty as a Junior Camp Counselor at the Christian Conference Center near Newton, Iowa. This was a very new experience for both of us, and I very quickly came to love and appreciate the beauty of her smile, the joy in her heart, and her obvious commitment to her Christian faith. I know that I am not alone in saying that Betty impacted my life in such a way that I am, indeed, a much better person from knowing her!! Sincerely, Steve Smith
