Please Note: Rotary Club Meeting on Tuesday, July 18, 2000 is an evening meeting featuring Frank Devlyn (President of Rotary International); Grand Ballroom, University Inn.
BRUCE HARDING selected by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Fellow Committee as a Fellow of
ASEE, BRUCE was honored at the Awards Banquet, ASEE Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO.
President GENE closed his year by noting that initially he had urged all to be "helpful and unselfish" Rotarians and cited 24 activities (which did not cover everything)
that Rotarians had done, and thanked everyone for their support. He indicated that: (1) Being President of Rotary is like being a father to your adult daughters, i.e., father can suggest, can observe, can encourage,
offer advice, be proud and supportive, but he cannot order or demand anything; and (2) Similarly a Rotary President has lots of responsibility but very little authority. He indicated that four times at wedding
receptions he had shaken hands with new son-in-laws and either consciously or subconsciously said, "I wish you well, she is your responsibility now!" He then
wished President DAN well, indicated that this Rotary Club is now your responsibility, and handed him the gavel.
JON HUSTON introduced Jeff Cardwell, who made a most interesting presentation, with slides, about his many tours to the Amazon.
