Herb Robbins has been with us twice, for a combined 14 year ministry. In the Interim he was the Diocesan Camp Director at Camp Stoney just outside, Santa Fe, NM. Herb's wife Kelly is Manger at Children, Youth & Families in Artesia, NM. They have three boys, Ty, Kirk and Jake who have grown up at St. Paul's.
