Robbins 20th commander in cockpit of a super Sabre. Of photo commands his old unit by Paul Spiers staff writer seventeen years ago this Mont Jay t. Robbins entered the outfit As a hot flying shave Tail. Now As a flier Diplomat colonel he com mands the outfit. During world War ii it was called the20th Pursuit group.

And m. After three months service he went to the 8th fighter group 5th air Force in the Pacific and became one of the air Force s top fighter aces.

The quiet spoken fighter Diplomat strongly believes that in addition n to maintaining this f100d super Sabre unit at top efficiency the continuation of excellent Community relations is enormously important. I m going to try As Best i can to continue the program of col Ray Toliver for i think we be got the Best Community relations program in the us. Essentially i View Community relations As a matter of give and take. For example the British Are improving roads hereabouts As a Means to reducing accidents. Right now they re straightening out what has been a dangerous curve near Braintree. On the other hand we re doing our Best to reduce the Jet noise disturbances much As possible. One of the reasons that we get along so Well Here is that Many of our people Are in touch with the people of nearby communities. It s All very Well and Good to have contacts Between the leaders on both sides but it s just As important that people get to know people. Our married people live off base in numerous communities and we think this leads to Mutual  the tall poised Robbins cited a per Sonal example he said that the fam ily maid was going on vacation to her country Home and when he offered to drive her she said she thought it would the a Good idea. Why she replied that her father did t like americans and she did t know what he might say. Robbins said he d like to meet her father. Since i m from Texas and know some thing about farming and ranching he said i thought we might have something in common. It turned out that i stayed at his House for about two hours and we had a wonder Ful talk. When i left he loaded me up with eggs and produce among his numerous decorations Rob bins holds the distinguished service Cross with one Oak Leaf Cluster the Silver Star with one Oak Leaf Cluster the distinguished flying Cross with three Oak Leaf clusters and the air medal. He is married to the former Ina Louis priest of Winc Heridon mass. They have two sons Ronald Jay and Robert Lynn. Would be poet a Prospero How Well i be Learned that what i sow cannot be turned into a Harvest of Bright Gold that what i have i cannot hold. For i have Grove led in the Street of life to find the bread i eat and i have twisted on the rack of human torture. If i Lack an element rather it be wealth than knowledge of my fellow Man. Better a poor Man s crust of bread than a breast of Stone to Lay my head. And if my loom sings Gay and merrily it s from the heart i weave and verily. Winifred Supero the Netherlands Hermit / prayed upon a waning Moon. That Light would come to me. My Barren incantation soon Sank to futility just As that leering orb descends to dim obscurity. Black was the night and to i turned in to the lighted door of my own heart wherein there burned a holocaust galore of warmth and brilliance no one knew existed there before. Don t blame me if / draw the shades to keep the blackness out my soul has gone on the crusades and danger lurks about. But rather blame a wan Fig Moon that first taught me to doubt.
