Finally I get some credit!
While I've been very happy researching and contributing to Rotary History and Archives' online and onsite history exhibits, it is nice when you get some recognition in a public way.
A few months ago, I researched the four men that met to form the first Rotary club in 1905 in Chicago. I also looked into the life of the so-called fifth Rotarian.
I wrote up my findings as a ready-reference document to assist researchers. Recently my coworker used that material in a regular web piece she does for www.rotary.org called Historic Moments. Since I wrote a significant portion of the finished product, she was able to get me a byline. Historic moment indeed! Hopefully this is the first of many.
Check out Historic Moments: The First Four to learn about Messieurs Harris, Loehr, Shorey, Schiele, and Ruggles. These four (OK, five) men met in an office after dinner one night, and the result is a service club organization that includes 33,000 clubs and more than one million members all over the world -- even in Antarctica.
We all start somewhere.
