Greetings!
 This months issue of WPHS comes from "This Rotarian Age," and covers a timely subject as Rotarians prepare for another Rotary year.
Paul Harris

 "Rotary International has been extremely fortunate in its selection of presidents. It would be impossible for the writer to over-express his appreciation of their joint and several contributions to the movement; it would be impossible for him to over-estimate their loyalty, their devotion, the sacrificial spirit which they have so frequently made manifest. He wishes that it might be permitted him to write the stories of their various administrations, but to do so would be to write the history of the movement and would require several volumes. The writer has no doubt that it will be accomplished in the course of time." Paul P. Harris, "This Rotarian Age" 1935, page 210

We hope that we have done well by Mr. Harris. At http://www.presidentshistories.org RGHF is continuing the project of completing the histories of all presidents from Paul Harris to today. You'll find some interesting personal comments on page 210 of "This Rotarian Age." whatpaulharriswrote.org/library/rotarianage/rotarianage.htm Each president of Rotary leave his or her mark for generations of Rotarians to come. We wish RIP John Kenny a most wonderful convention in Montreal. And, RGHF is duly proud of his membership in RGHF.

To all of Rotary's Presidents,

Jack Selway, RGHF Founder and CEO
