| Abstract | Business executive and golfer Ray M. Robinson was born on November 30, 1947, in McKinney, Texas, and grew up in Dallas. He earned his B.A. degree and his M.B.A. degree in finance from the University of Denver. While still in high school, Robinson worked as a communication technician, commencing a thirty-five-year career with AT&T. He served in several capacities at AT&T and relocated thirteen times to take new positions in marketing, sales and regulatory affairs. He ultimately settled in Atlanta, where he became president of AT&T's southern region. After retiring from AT&T in 2003, Robinson became president of Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club and vice chairman of the East Lake Community Foundation. He helped revive the historic golf course and the inner-city neighborhood surrounding it. Robinson served as an officer in several companies and organizations. Robinson and his wife, Arlane, lived in Marrieta, Georgia. |
