Robert Bird or “Bobby” as most of us know him, is 51 years old and lives in Massachusetts with his sister Debbie and her family. He has Down Syndrome and an interesting speech impairment which makes it sound as if he is speaking his own personal language. He understands everything that is said to him, yet it is often a puzzle to understand what he is saying. Despite this challenge Bobby is extremely affable and is able to converse with almost anyone who comes his way. He has interviewed Sen. John McCain, Al Franken, Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel. Bobby has been with the How’s Your News team since it’s inception in 1998. When not reporting his own brand of the news, he does janitorial work in southern Massachusetts.
