Remembers

DONALD A. ADAMS

We had Don at our Winnipeg District Conference in Winnipeg in 1927. He was Rotary 15th President. He came from that great little city of New Haven.

Don has not attended many of the recent conventions but like all the others, he left fond memories of his visit with us and of the conventions we attended together.

J.A.C.
