Margaret Robinson, dog kennel owner
Margaret Mary Robinson was raised in Newport, but when she was 10 years old she left the big city to spend the summer on a farm.
That summer fostered a lifetime love for animals that would eventually lead to founding a Cold Spring kennel with her sister, Ann Robinson, in 1970. Customers said their dogs loved staying at Robinwood Kennel, Ann Robinson said.
"My sister would talk to the dogs and that would always make them happy, " Ann Robinson said. "She had a way of letting them know that they would be safe with her."

Ms. Robinson also was fond of horses. An accomplished recreational rider herself, she taught her nieces and nephews how to ride.
"She loved to ride and the nieces and nephews just loved riding with her, " Ann Robinson said. "She was always doing something outside painting the barn, going for walks, always doing something. She always was a tom girl. She just loved nature."
