There was a very special guest speaker at the regular weekly Folsom Rotary in Folsom.


Lieutenant Commander Ted Robinson(US Navy Retired), who during World War II, was captain of PT-118 and rescued the future US President John F. Kennedy(JFK) after his famed sinking on PT-109.

He discussed his life as the PT captain and elaborated in detail on the bravery of JFK. He also grew up in Queens, NY which, got me quit excited. Mr. Robinson and his wife were selling his book on this ordeal during WWII and the famed rescue.
Great night with one of the last remaining me of WWII talking on his life during that conflict and gave us insight into JFK's wonderful character.
