Morton “Mort” Robbins was the second son of Albert and Lily Rotschy Robbins.
Mort attended Clover Valley Grade school in Woodland Wa. grades 1–6. He graduated from Woodland High School in 1956.
He then attended WSU in Pullman, Washington, where he graduated with a degree in civil engineering. Mort remained a lifelong fan!
After graduation, Mort worked for a series of engineering firms such as Bechtel Corp., Ebasco, and finally the ill-fated Satsop nuclear project, working from his home in Rochester, Washington.
For the rest, Mort wrote a brief description, and here are his words:
“I was a longtime devotee to WSU activities. I was also a lifetime member of the NRA (National Rifle Association). My hobbies included hunting and fishing (on nice days!), clam digging, and horse racing. I owned several—more bad than good ones! In later years, I got interested in books and read a lot. I kept in touch with longtime friends, and I enjoyed going to family picnics. I was also an active tree farmer on our dad’s inherited tree farms. But I loved to gamble and spent hours doing it. Overall, I had a very good life.”
We will miss you, Mort—brother, relative, and friend.
—Brother Quentin
Mort chose cremation. His ashes will be spread at his beloved Goat Marsh. There will be no funeral, but sometime down the road a memorial will happen, probably at Clover Valley School/Church.
