Less than two weeks before the passing of the unrepeatable Robin S. Reed, I replied to a social media post about STN’s favorite Peanuts character, dear Franklin, voiced by a young Robin so many years ago…
“At STN every month as part of our action series, It Happens at STN, we are honored by views from the original voice of Franklin, Robin S Reed. And when November rolls around, the Peanuts Thanksgiving feature is discussed and celebrated as a watershed moment of progress… slight though it may seem, there was much more to Franklin’s character introduction, and the creator’s effort to include him, than we’ll ever know. And we have Sir Robin to thank for that legacy. 🙌🙌🙌”
From a very tender age, Robin’s voice for others, for their inclusion, and to all of us that we should show up with our very best selves — every time — he was changing the world. And to his final day, Robin’s work continued in extraordinary ways.
How blessed were we to be in his audience… may his work continue through all of us in our own unrepeatable ways. Infinity. 🕊️
