[RC] Mr. Robie - kay mathews

I only met Mr. Robie once, but it's a wonderful lasting memory. At a ride it began to rain during dinner and he hustled us all into a building where it was crowded, noisy...you know. Mr. Robie got up on a picnic table and gave a stiring patriotic speech. He was dressed like a buckaroo with his blue jeans stuffed into his cowboy boots, suspenders over his western shirt with his cowboy hat pushed back on his head. How I wished I had written down every word he spoke and taken a picture of this most amazing man! Of course, now I can't remember all he said -- but his final words I will never forget and neither will my kids - it became their battle cry - he said, "What this world needs are STRONG Americans!"
