FAIRFIELD Robyn Stevens has an eclectic list of idols, though two of them she must count herself among the millions who admire their talents and charisma.
Stevens, 38, of Vacaville, was only 6 years old when she first saw Nadia Comăneci dazzle the world as a 14-year-old gymnast from Romania; and while teetering on dreams of being an athlete or a dancer, it was Mikhail Baryshnikov who captured Stevens’ devotion.
