     Several Rotarians were engaged in lively questions and proposals with Mr. Robertson.  From the smiles all around, one could say "a good time was had by all".

QUOTABLES:

     While driving along with her husband and young son, the mother thought this might be a teachable moment, so she asked the boy, “What does a red light mean?” 

      “Stop,” replied the son.

“Good,” said the Mom.  “And how about a green light?” 

      “Go,” said the boy.

“Good.  And what does a yellow light mean?” she asked.

The boy paused for a moment , looked at his Father and then in his best deep-voice impression, he bellowed, “Hang on!”
