More than once, Robin told me that he was a living anachronism. From his early years as a kid in Delaware, he was already interested in hunting, fishing, trapping and archaeology. He loved the natural environment as a gift, and learned how to use it.<\/p>\n

By the time I had him as a neighbor here in Waves, he was quite adept at all of those interests. At\u00a0times, for our small band of surfing brothers, he was a provider.<\/p>\n

\"snow<\/a><\/p>\n

With a light dusting of snow, the geese were flying by in formation. Robin got 3 right off the bat behind our trailer in Salvo. 1977<\/p>\n

\"deer\"<\/a>\u00a0Robin had just shot this deer in Buxton Woods, and came by to show BJ and me when we lived in Salvo. Susie, his black lab was a great bird dog and didn’t normally hunt deer with him.1977<\/p>\n

\"camo\"<\/a>\u00a0Robin would often jump shoot for his water fowl. In this 1985 photo,he used my chesapeake bay retriever, Boca, for some teal hunting.<\/p>\n

\"diving\"<\/a>\u00a0 In this 1991 photo, Robin was free diving for fish over the 1891 shipwreck, Strathairly. His spear fishing exploits were largely successful.<\/p>\n

\"s-curve\"<\/a>\u00a0In 1978, the S-Curve area had a wave that walled up beautifully and was uncrowded. Robin rode a single fin 6-10 winger-pintail that he made. He was not using surf leashes yet, and was about the only one in the water that knee paddled for his waves.<\/p>\n

\"clammer\"<\/a>\u00a0Robin and I went clamming on Ocracoke Island frequently. In 1994 we raked this nice basketful.<\/p>\n
