The Ultimate Academic Power Couple
The Ultimate Academic Power Couple
Ed Robinson ’74
As I mentioned in our last meeting, your departure from Clarkson and Potsdam will leave a massive hole for the folks who replace you. It would be hard to imagine two finer people who could make more significant contributions to students, to alumni, to the university, to the community, and to the entire North Country than Karen and Tony Collins. It has been my good fortune to know the blessings of your friendship and I can only wish you a wonderful few decades in retirement. Something tells me that you won’t exactly be lounging around in rocking chairs anytime soon so I look forward to hearing what exciting activities are in your futures. I suspect you will be up to your ears in offers to engage, to envision, to lead and to collaborate with people in need of your special brands of friendship, intellect, compassion and wisdom. Thanks for all your contributions and fine memories, and may God’s grace be with you in all the years ahead.

I do not have any close memories of President Collins. That is my fault and loss. I have heard a lot about President Collins; especially when he was working with the guys at DU/ Lambda (my fraternity) a few years ago. All I can say, is that anybody who can put up with being president of a university (with its up and downs) for 40 years, deserves all the recognition he can get!

Tony and Karen, all the best wishes from the Jacot/Beckstein family. Your phone call to my mother after my dad passed away is th epitome of the Clarkson Experience. It meant so much to us. Thank you for all the wonderful pep band memories and for your support throughout the years. You will not soon be forgotten. Love, Michaele-Lynne (Jacot) Beckstein

Although I had more interactions with you, Tony, while working at the St. Lawrence County Chamber as their Events & Promotions Manager, I’m very excited to now work in Clarkson’s Career Center. Helping our students achieve their future employment goals has been very rewarding. Favorite memory, however, is having dinner with you and Karen at our beautiful home in celebration of Karen St. Hilaire’s retirement as SLC Administrator. Best chimichurri! (It’s funny what we remember!) Best wishes for all your future journeys!
