Robert Albiston

2015 version: St. Charles has always been "home," although I have lived in quite a few places since leaving upon turning 15 for Morristown, NJ, where I lived and attended high school not far from George Washington's headquarters. Long story short, I graduated from Long Island University, Post Campus in Upper Brookville, on Long Island. There, I met my wife, Lucinda, the singer of the band we performed with for many years. After graduation and travel abroad, we re-united in New York and played for several more years in the hot places of NYC. That life convinced me that I needed a real "day job," so I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology in the program of my choice, the doctoral training program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. We live here today. We have two children, ages 31 and 29. Lucinda earned a law degree and practices with the firm she created. I co-founded a private practice of seven professionals and designed a dedicated office building overlooking a large gorgeous lake surrounded by trees and wildlife. We may be the last people of the group still working full time, but look forward to retiring in the months ahead.

2012 version: Having left St. Charles for Morristown, NJ, to begin my sophomore year, cherished memories and thoughts of great friends and experiences in my true "home town." After college in New York, study and travel ensued.

I performed some years with a NYC rock band which was regular at CBGB and other notorious venues. In those times, I met my future wife and favorite vocal performer, Lucinda. Deciding then that I needed a day job, I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology and have been in Tennessee since 1978. I continue in the group practice I co-founded and build in 1984. Although it overlooks a broad lake with views of wildlife, it will soon be time to turn the page and pursue other interests. I write and give talks on a variety of contemporary global issues as well as professional topics.

I wouldn't trade growing up among friends in St. Charles for anything. Thanks for the great website!
