Classification Talk - Malcolm Ross

Malcolm gave a heartwarming presentation on his life so far. Born in Rhodesia into a family of priviledge he received a good education and lots of opportunity. He quickly learned from his Father that with priveldge comes responsibility. After graduating he was conscripted into the Rhodesian army as there was a civil war at the time. Under enemy fire he learned that you must take your finger off your radio to hear the instructions that will save you. And so it has been for him with Christianity. During the war he had lost faith but his new wife Melanie set him straight. They left Rhodesia because of his son's health and they arrived in Canada as economic refugees. The company he was working with folded in 18 months. He had no family, no job or assets. During this dark period his sister and Mom both passed on in South Africa and he was not financially able to return. Then his son had a serious asthmatic attack and needed to have open heart and lung surgery. Through all of this he learned that you need to know what your purpose is on this planet. And that nothing is more important than the relationships you have with the people you love. Malcolm has enjoyed being a member of our club and is looking forward to his year ahead as President.
