TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF NO ONE IN THE CLUB
LIKELY KNOWS – In college I co-hosted a Saturday morning radio show we called "Hangover Helpers" (spinning soothing tunes on the turntables ...)
I also recently sky dived with several family members. We jumped over two miles up and had a great float to earth. I highly recommend it to my fellow Rotarians seeking a little adventure in their lives.
LIFE ROLE MODEL(s) – Anyone and everyone with a purpose-filled life that cares for humanity and our environment.
MOST SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT – Finding a career in which I find success and joy.
PROUDEST MOMENT - Watching the younger members of our family grow into adulthood.
FUNNIEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU - Having my car towed to the repair shop because of a racing engine; then getting a call from the mechanic to ask if I had cleaned my car lately---because the floor map was stuck on top of the gas pedal causing the racing. (And yes, I received some Rotary smart pills for that act.)
SECRET AMBITION - To visit the space station.
IF YOU COULD BE ANYONE IN THE WORLD FOR A DAY (present or historical), WHO WOULD THAT BE---AND WHY?
Luciano Pavarotti----to experience such a command of the voice along with an understanding of all the opera lyrics.
MOST FAMOUS PERSON MET - Bo Schembechler
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SHARE - Rotary continues to open my eyes to the positive impact humans can have on our world.
President Mike promptly rang the meeting bell at 12:15 to start another engaging Rotary meeting.
