Rotary Club

I was at the Tallahassee Rotary Club yesterday to watch the award for the Frederick Clifton Moore to Dr. Larry Deeb. It was really nice. I sat with J. Rae Brown and his wife, Dean Penny Ralston from FSU, Dr. Luke Blanton and with Donna Thornton, who brought me along. It was especially nice for me to be there, because my Rotary sponsor, Jervey Kelly, had been an awardee in the early nineties. I like going to this Rotary club particularly, because so many people there remember Jervey, and I like to talk about him. Dr. Stan Marshall told me that he'd written a column in the Tallahassee Magazine about a year ago about Jervey's mission behind enemy lines during WWII. I continue to hope, nearly 20 years after being a Rotary Scholar sponsored by the club, that somebody will invite me to join.
