Betty Helt-Kingma, bettsjd@verizon.net, childhood friend, 10622 Bryant St Spc 50 Yucaipa CA 92399 USA, My Kindergarten Hero. My first day of kindergarten, I was crying when my Mother took me to class. You walked up to me and took my hand saying," Let's go play ". I was fine from then on, with my friend and next door neighbor watching over me. I love you Robbie and will never forget my first day of school. Jun 2, 2007.
 
Thank you for your service, Robbie. Posted on 2/1/18 - by Ryan Yzquierdo
 
I would like to thank Robbie for his sister. I recently found out about him after my mother, Cynthia Gaunt, passed away on Jan 7, 2018. I found some great photos of them from when she and Robbie dated in high school, which I shared with Robbie's sister. Just wanted to share his pic and story with everyone to let people know he's still being remembered almost 50 years later.
