What Paul Harris Said, a feature of RGHF since December 2001. 
Paul Harris
Paul P. Harris, Founder of Rotary 23 February 1905
Often we find material for this feature using www.historysearch.org, this month "July" found this interesting article from RGHF senior historian Basil Lewis, England. 

Paul Harris was always interested in literary figures, their homes and the places in which their works were set.  Here on the Isle of Man, he set out on his first afternoon to follow the trail of the Manx novelist Hall Caine, starting with his grave, a lonely spot far up on the hillsides.  It was inscribed:

 'To the memory of Hall Caine, CH KBE, Freeman of Douglas, Manx novelist
Born 14th of May 1855   Died 31st of August 1931
Slumbering in the deep solitude of the hills he loved so well.'		 

As Harris remarked, "His idiosyncrasy was to do his writing in bed, as Victor Hugo's was to do his standing up. What a pity that they did not compromise and both write sitting down."
