Golden ‘roads’ scholar: Robb Westaby celebrates 50 years on the air
Born and raised in Southern California, he’s a Dodger fan, but he doesn’t surf and has never been in the movies. He did meet a few movie stars out there.
His first car was a 1966 Barracuda, but it sounds cooler than it was, due to dents provided by the previous owner.
As a driver, he adheres strictly do his ‘five-over’ rule: never drive more than five miles per hour over the speed limit.
Now Robb spent the last couple of years at FOX 17 reporting on the most important stories out of Walker, Northview, and Comstock Park.
