P.P. Robert Lockhart's Comments

"This was an adventure I set out on back in the late 1980's

thanks to the influence / impression you and Ross (PDG Ross Coates) made on me

in your support of the PolioPlus program, and the Rotary Foundation" Robert emailed to PDG Gerry Barnett. 

"PolioPlus was initiated during my year as President in 1984-85.

I always admired how you recognized your family as PHF's

while supporting such a worthwhile Rotary endeavor,

and this was something I wanted to do as well.

I reached my PHF +8 a few years ago,

but could never decide how to actually present my family

with the actual recognition

as it would be a complete surprise to all.

This Christmas "I just did it", and wanted you to know

that you & Ross were recognized

when I made the presentations for the influence you had,

and for the Rotarians you both have been.

Thanks for planting the seed many years ago that made this

one of the most memorable Christmas's for me and my family."

He also emailed PP Heinz Schaerer saying "The annual (and biannual) follow up calls seeking contributions

toward the sustaining PHF program

was also greatly appreciated and a contributing factor

in me reaching this milestone,

and this exciting and emotional moment in my Rotary life.

That personal touch does make a difference"
