He was a chemist, plant breeder, classical music lover, woodworker, avid reader, and even held a patent for a backstop for rifle targets. The name of “Robin Hill” hybrids came from novel, The Forsythe Saga, which he also had named his home. The name ‘Watchet’ likely comes from a harbor town in England with this name.
