ROTARY MEETING 9/23/04

Dan Morgenstern gave a stirring and beautiful invocation. His words AND music were beautiful. Thank you Dan.!!!

Our special honoree today was honorable president Mike's guest "HARRY". He is 89 years YOUNG, a 59 year

member of the oddfellows, long time mounted ranger, member of the Hwy 203 grange, and truly an example of

in his "spare time" and started work as a rancher driving a team of horses to plow a field at 25 cents a day many

decades ago. A true local hero and great volunteer.
