What an angel on this earth was Robin Scala. She could always see the good in people. She served this community in a multitude of ways and was my friend, my mentor, and my collaborator. We worked together on a grant that created the art gallery. She accepted my at-risk students totally, and gave them an opportunity to do community service when others would not. She had compassion, intelligence and humor. I ran into her just a few months ago, and she still showed her fighting and loving spirit. The world is a little darker without her. My condolences Brandon and David. She loved you so much.

Dave and Boys – We are so glad we got to visit with Robin and will miss her. I have a lot of fun memories with her, picking wild flowers and weeds, going to ST. Vincent to buy our long-johns. She is the most remarkable woman I have ever known and will never be forgotten.
I have been working with Robin on the Library Board–she was always so positive about issues, but firm in her beliefs. She will be hard to replace.

I cannot describe in words how much she meant to me growing up and even now as adult. She had given me guidance and mentoring, believed in me when others doubted me and taught me so much. Everything I had ever aspired to do and bein life was because of all she had given.
She was truly an amazing and strong woman. The work she did was above and beyond anything I had ever seen anyone do. She cared so much about the people of the community and fought for so much for them. Her legacy is truly a great one and one that will remain alive long past the years.
