Referring Rotary Club Lawndale
Comments Major Dirghalli was an excellent speaker. He discussed his career, the opportunities the military offered him,
  and how men in uniform were perceived during WWII and how they are generally perceived by the public
  now. He showed the human side of the men in uniform, and how it has helped him in his civilian work as a
  high school teacher today. It was a very informative presentation.
