Little did we at the Bedford Historical Society realize when we decided on the event title, “An Evening with Robin Swoboda: The Good, The Bad and The Hilarious” that the experience would do much more than live up to its name!
Robin and I truly enjoyed sharing our often-crazy experiences doing “live” television with some of the funniest, most talented and nicest people you’d ever hope to meet. Your warm reception, laughter and support were sincerely appreciated, especially during the technical glitches which, for us, are a normal part of live TV.
On behalf of The Bedford Historical Society, Robin Swoboda and myself, we want to thank all the wonderful people who attended our Annual Bedford Historical Society Gala Fundraiser at Jimmy and Patty D’Angelo’s Sherwood Forest Party Center.
Your comments on Facebook and other platforms were both welcomed and gratifying. For those of you who unfortunately could not be there to share in the humor and walk down memory lane, you can enjoy some of the following photos and comments from those who spent a memorable evening with the funny, inspirational and totally genuine Robin Swoboda.
Thank you!
Robin & Tim
Attendee quotes
I went to the Sherwood Forest Party Center for the Bedford Historical Society fundraiser and what a night ! Fantastic food, remarkable staff and entertained by two of the best known and well loved newscasters of my time. Robin was absolutely hilarious, witty, beautiful and such an incredible hostess. She and Tim shared behind the scenes stories from their news days and had the whole room laughing.

Watching Tim and Robin took me back to the golden age of TV news where news and personality reigned supreme. It’s only fitting that the broadcasting history they created is helping support the mission of the Bedford Historical Society

Holly and I really enjoyed the evening…chaos and all! The food was very good.
—Roland
Because we watched this news team for years on TV, it was fun to hear how the anchors kidded around with each other behind the scenes. The story of Robin and Dick Goddard picking up dinner and the mishap the happened on the drive back was funny.
—Dennis
Based on the stories and your calmness, you two experienced many technical and health glitches during your careers. Your stories were excellent.
