The Amherst High School Entrepreneurship class is looking for some entrepreneurs to guest speak to the students about how they got started. Dates: May 16, 17, 18, or 19 at 10:50-11:30am. If interested, please email teacher Christina Evans at cevans@amherstschools.org.
Would like at least one entrepreneur for each of the four days. This is a great way to connect with Amherst students of today.
Thank you in advance!

KOVES, ROBIN REYBURN KIRKPATRICK
Robin Koves’ life ended, on March 22, 2023, at the age of 66, after a 30-year battle arising out of Polycystic Kidney Disease. She was born on August 23, 1956, in Buffalo, NY, before immigrating to Toronto, Canada, where she put down roots and raised her family. Robin was a devoted wife and best friend to her husband, Robert, and a proud mother to her children, Jacky and Lex. She was overjoyed to see them find happiness with their partners, Matt and Sarah. Robin was also a doting grandmother (“Marmee”) to Freya, Virginia, Lander, and Simon, and cherished every moment spent with them. Robin loved family and arranged get togethers for all occasions. Whenever possible, this included sisters, brothers, cousins, and grandparents. Robin was an avid game player. She met her husband, Robert, over a backgammon board. She loved a rousing game of “Oh Hell” and was the best trivia player in the family. In addition to her role as a mother and homemaker, Robin was a key participant in the daily operation of the family business. Robin contributed much time to PEO Chapter B, a local chapter of an organization that supports women’s education, as well as Hopewell Gardens, a community gardening club, acting as the “Permanent” Treasurer for both organizations. Robin is survived by her sisters, Melanie and Holly; as well as her husband, children, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. She will forever be in our hearts.
