Washburn Graduate Robert D. Cabana (’67) said his experiences
at Washburn High School were important to his success. Recently
retired from his role as a senior administrator at NASA overseeing
more than 18,000 employees and a $25-billion-dollar budget, Robert shared with us the ways his time at Washburn prepared him for life.

“What I remember most was the camaraderie of my friends on the stage crew under the direction of Mr. Krause, the Shakespeare that I can still recite that I had to memorize in Ms. Walsh's 11th grade English class, and the math I learned as a senior in Mr. Sverdrup's advanced math class. I learned teamwork on the stage crew and a love of tech and fixing things. Our production of "Bye Bye Birdie" our senior year was awesome. The memorization skills I
developed under Ms. Walsh aided me at the Academy and memorizing emergency procedures flying jets and space shuttles, not to mention rounding me out with a love of literature.
What I learned under Mr. Sverdrup led me to be a math major with a love of applied math in engineering. Finally, on the wrestling team I learned persistence (and not giving up.) Donate today! https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E354416&id=8
