During the questions and answers session, it was noted that Dave's Father Robert Sheridan is a past President of the Rotary Club of Brockville, as well as, a past Mayor of the City of Brockville. Extending the thanks of the Club, President Alfred O'Rourke (right) presents Dave (left) with a book that will be donated to the St. John Bosco Elementary School Library to commemorate Dave's presentation.
