In October 2004, Doug Cameron was one of over 50 Rotarians to participate in a Rotary NID (National Immunization Day) in Ethiopia on behalf of Rotary’s goal to eradicate polio. Doug will give us a first-hand view of his experiences. Join the BBRC at 7:00 a.m. this Friday (1/28) at Glendale Country Club.

Norm Johnson didn’t get far away from the lectern as Jenny called him forward to explain his winning $1,000 when his name was called by Bill Yeend, on the KOMO Radio morning show. He had 30minutes to call. Bob Holert heard his named called, and phoned Norm’s home. He was underwater at the Mercer Island pool and his wife Carolyn asks the folks at the pool to get him to a phone. As Norm tells it, “The lifeguard pulled me out and I made the call.” With all that work, Norm agreed to share half ($500) of his winnings with the Rotary Foundation.
Peter Powell came forward with a long look on his face. He told Jenny he’d been “rejected, and was dejected, because he’d lost Sayoko (formerly Powell) as a soul mate.” He told Jenny he wants to change his name to Kuwahara, but he couldn’t pronounce it correctly. Sayoko responded by suggesting Peter just acquire the name she’s cast asunder and be henceforth known as Peter Powell-Powell! That seemed to take care of the matter. No money changed hands.
