Remembering Prince Philip and the 1982 Rotary Project

The passing of Prince Philip this month has presented our Rotary Club of Wilmette members with the opportunity to relive and share in a memorable, extraordinary event that occurred in 1982; The founding of a Peace Park in Ras Muhammed, Egypt honoring Anwar Sadat, a man of Peace.  At the same time enabling our club to experience the honor of welcoming a personal visit to Wilmette by H.R.H. Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.

Member Don Olson, a Vice President of the Wilmette Rotary Club at that time, was instrumental in making it happen and was personally responsible for the detailed arrangements of this internationally acclaimed happening.
