Antonio and although not young any more, he is still a going concern as he
always was. He was Rotary's 16th President. Margaret and I had a fine visit
with Harry at our hotel in San Antonio in 1949. We had received a parking
ticket that A.M. at Laredo, Texas but had continued on our trip without
calling at police headquarters. This worried us so that evening we had Harry
phone the Secretary of the Laredo Club and he told Harry to forget all about
it. In 1952, when we flew to Mexico City to the convention, I called Harry
from the San Antonio airport going and coming. It is always nice to even say
"Hello" to old friends. J.A.C. |
