(First airdate: October 22, 2019) ROBBIE ROBERTS: THAILAND TEMPTS PT TEENS. Our Town host Maryanne McNellis interviews Jim “Robbie” Roberts, head of the Expedition Club, which has sent over 300 local teens to Thailand for the past 16 years. Roberts was a fixture at Port Townsend high school for decades. He taught and, as Coach Roberts, supervised the athletic department though decades of wins and losses.. His crowning inspiration was to take teens to Thailand – to open their eyes to another culture and way of living. For most, it changes their lives profoundly.
