DG's Visits Week 12

Week 12 began on a sad note with Daphne and I attending the funeral of Past District Governor George Cram of the Rotary Club of Dundee. George was everything you could wish for in a Rotarian. Fun to be with but nevertheless totally committed to Rotary's ideals. He was my mentor and constant source of encouragement, as indeed he was to numerous new Rotarians. I have little doubt that I would never have scaled the heights of being a District Governor without his support. Early on in my Rotary career, it was George who encouraged me to attend District and other Conferences, and to get involved with District affairs. My Rotary life would have been much the poorer without this. He also worked tirelessly for the District, in particular wading through the tomes which constitute the papers for the Council on Legislation , without which we would have had little or no knowledge of Rotary's administrative process. George was a first class DG and he brought the commitment to this position which he also brought to the many other activities he was involved in. He will be greatly missed.
