Rotary Rocket - Jan 17th - Special Clinton Edition

Welcome to Rich Prager appreciation week :-)

Sadly, Rich was unable to attend, and we have no pictures from the excellent meeting at the African Art Museum with the founder of Nypro, Inc, Gordon Langdon.

Current President Frank Doherty reports

We had 14 Rotarians plus guest Jean Bishop attending the January 17th meeting in the African Art Museum in Clinton, which Gordon Langton addressed. Gordon is the founder of Nypro Inc., the largest plastic producer in the world. He has retired from an active role in Nypro and now his primary activity is collecting: African Art for this gallery; Russian Icons in his other museum; and a large collection of Buddhas, which as yet doesn't have a museum home. He thinks his African collection exceeds even the holdings of such great museums as the Metropolitan and the MFA. His Russian Icon collection is the most extensive in the world outside of Russia. Following Gordon's talk, 12 of us had lunch at the Via Alto (High Street) in downtown Clinton.

See you back at The Coral Seafood next week.
