TURNING 100

Dr. Robert Galván honored for lifetime of love, dedication, service

Dr. Robert Galván achieved a milestone few will ever see in their lifetimes yesterday, Feb. 25, by turning 100 years old. However, for Galván, hitting the century mark is only the latest in a long list of impressive successes as an educational pioneer, a volunteer, a social justice trailblazer and a contributor to the Spanish language.

In addition to his notable professional achievements, Galván had the love and support of his wife, Eva, married now 66 years, and their seven children, all of whom are college educated. When asked about the secret to his long life, he said, 'My wife’s love and kisses, keeping my mind busy and helping others.”
