TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF NO ONE IN THE CLUB
LIKELY KNOWS – I saved an elderly couple from drowing when I was 14. It didn’t seem like much at the time, but 41 years later I still remember it vividly. I wish I had thought to ask their names, but pulling them from the flooded Vermillion River seemed like enough at the time.

MOST SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT – Winning the 1998 Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race with my Dad and four others on his Pearson 53’ Ketch the Borrowed Horse.
PROUDEST MOMENT - Alexandria B Young Marian Lovell, born 2 August 2016.
FUNNIEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU - Having my room toilet papered when I was 17! My folks let the girls in on purpose.
SECRET AMBITION – Be the president of the United States.
IF YOU COULD BE ANYONE IN THE WORLD FOR A DAY (present or historical), WHO WOULD THAT BE---AND WHY? President of the United States, but I’d like it for 4 – 8 years. I know I can do a far better job than the current occupant or the other two chuckleheads currently clucking out there.
MOST FAMOUS PERSON MET - Al Kaline when I was seven.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SHARE – The difference between a politician and a good leader is quite simple. A politician takes credit for everyone else’s hard work and blames all his failures on others. A good leader takes the blame for those that may fall short under his leadership and gives them credit for all his successes. We need more good leaders, not politicians.
Past President Dale Chilcote filled in for President Mike due to illness.
The purpose of today’s presentation was to inform Rotarians of the latest status relative to ‘the world of water science.” Hans VanSumeren, is a renowned expert of water studies who last spoke to us in 2009 and since then; the knowledge and importance of water studies has exploded. Traverse City has become the ‘hub’ of this science pursuit due to Northwestern Michigan College’s Maritime Academy. Michigan and the Great Lakes offer the world’s largest freshwater resources for research and study. NMC has become the home of this knowledge and offers facilities and assets as well as experience and curriculum development to interested parties.
