Paul was a great man who did a lot of pioneering in our hobby. Some of my fondest rocketry memories involved Kosdon East (forerunner of AMW)… Paul was a tremendous influence on my early days of rocketry. Many of the folks in our club knew Paul personally.

Next time you see a Skidmark, think of Paul….

Sad news indeed. Tough losing members of such a small community. Funny how you almost feel like you know people in your hobby by reputation even if you’ve never met them.

I will always remember Paul as the best storyteller ever! He and I sat on the ramp of a trailer in Texas and messed with the back of Event Horizon for a couple hours, all we were doing was installing motors which was a ten minute job but Paul was eager to tell me about the ouR project and about his hurricane experiences, time just seemed to fly by! I will miss him! He did a lot for me in the time I knew him and he did a great deal for everyone in rocketry.

I met Paul Robinson for the first time this year at LDRS28 in Potter, NY. In the brief amount of time we spoke, he seemed like a nice and brave man, knowing that his future on this earth was limited. The AMW motors, especially the skidmarks were the greatest. Here is link to a photo on my ockets.fotopic.net web site that I took of Paul with his friend Neil McGilvray of Rockets magazine. If the link doesn’t work, then you can just go to my web site and find it in the LDRS28_7-6-09 photos.
