We note with great sadness the passing on May 1st of Roy Villa, the husband of longtime CPTC member Robin Villa.  Roy and Robin were married for 42 years, and had a lifelong love and devotion to each other we can all aspire to.  In the 1980’s when Robin was one of our leading competitors on the track and the roads, Roy was a regular attendee at our club gatherings and at meets. Roy was 75 years old. 

For our newer members who may not know her,  Robin was one of the top masters runners in New York on the track and in road races.  She was a longtime member of the club executive committee and was our de facto social director for years.  A professor at City College, she was also instrumental in our obtaining permission to train at City,  both indoors and out.  City College was our track and middle distance home for many years, and the Nat Holman Gym at City was the site of our fiercely competitive inter-squad indoor championships throughout the 1980s.  The club sends its deepest personal regards and love to Robin.
