 A Rookie Rotarian
With my leave short, my father, a Charter Member of the small
Shelby, Michigan Rotary Club, spoke to me about joining the club
as an Honorary Member.
We walked a block down to the club Secretary‘s commercial
establishment.
Without the benefit of the Board’s OK, I became a
Rotarian. It took a matter of minutes.
The Secretary gave me a pin and a card, “NAVEL (sic)
RESERVE”. I did not
notice that until the San Pedro, California club Secretary asked
me to reserve a few for him.
Since 8 May 1942, those keepsakes have lain on bottom in
the Coral Sea, still aboard LEXCV2.
