VOTED as NUMBER 1 PRESIDENT of AREA 6!!!!
It has been a great Rotary-Year led by Rosa.
She has guided us through a very difficult time to
keep us safe from the pandemic and just
importantly supported and encouraged our
members to “keep the faith”.
Despite this year’s challenges, our club continues
to meet weekly, stay connected with those who have
been in other parts of the world as well as those
who have not attended the weekly Zoom meetings.
Due to the true dedication of our members and
Rosa’s perseverance, our Club has met its 2019-
2020 Goals (International Rotary and Club
Strategic Plan – read below).
Beyond the original goals, with Rosa’s guidance,
we developed a Recovery Plan. As a result, through
committee work, we were instrumental in
establishing WIFI stations in partnership with the
Aromas-San Juan Unified School District to support distance-learning for children and we
supported 3-4 food and supply distributions in San Juan Bautista.

We welcome Luis as our new President!
Luis begins next week to lead the Rotary Club of San Juan Bautista through a possible year of
uncharted territory. He will begin with continuing to meet with us every Thursday morning on Zoom and
has the challenge of supporting our membership in completing our set goals.
“I want to thank everybody. I have found that Rotary has brought me a lot of good friends, especially
in our club. It is more than friends. It is a new family to me. I appreciate Rosa because she has been a
great friend to me. I want thank you, Rosa for this year and everything. You have been a really, really
good friend to me. Thanks Everybody. I hope this year will be great!”
This Little Club that BELIEVES IT CAN and SO Often DOES,

Larry was born in 1938 in Salinas and was raised in Tres Piños
attending the Live Oak School and graduating from Hollister High School
(now San Benito High School).

led him to attend college in Fresno for a semester. However, life changes
happen and Larry returned to San Juan Bautista upon his father’s death.
He went to work as a tow-truck driver and then joined a company as an
engineering assistant.
Needing to further his education, Larry enrolled and attended the
University of Miami for one year and then attended UC San Francisco;
graduating with a degree in accounting with a minor in economics.
While at UC San Francisco, Larry asked Judy to marry him. They were
married on June 22nd 57-years ago.
Larry began his career with an ocean transportation company in San
Francisco as a chief account and later a partner in company. This position
led he and his family to New Orleans, and later Belize (19-years).
Larry’s Life Accomplishments:
U.S. National Guard (SGT A-6) (Completed in 1966)
Father of 5-children; 4-daughters and a son

Don Boys:
“I was born during the Great Depression
just like Larry during the aftermath of the
Second World War. I was a teenager during
the birth of Rock & Roll.
I was a young man during the Civil Rights
Movement in the ‘60’s, watching the foul
murder of John F. Kennedy, and the many
other things that happened.”
“The one thing in my life that I wanted to
mention is that I was a Sunday School Teacher
in 1964. The Civils Rights Law was passed
the year after John F. Kennedy was murdered.
A friend of mine, Will Picture, was also a
Sunday School Teacher at a little church
called Marks Place Methodist Church. Rev.
Gene at our church decided that we were going to celebrate a Civil Rights Sunday. We were going to
invite the Pastor of the Black church in Hazelwood to preach at our church and we were going to trade
choirs for one-Sunday.
As Sunday School Teachers, we were on the Board of Directors. We proposed that instead of doing
that (proposal by the Pastor), that we integrate the two-churches. If we are actually going to do this, we
need to do it right. The vote was 10 to 2 (against the 2-church integration proposal). The point is that
during the ‘60’s the focus of the civil rights’ movement was all in the South. There was a hell of a lot of
people in the North, that were happy about that because they didn’t have to really look what was in their
backyard and didn’t have to do anything about it. There were a few of us in Indiana that did work on this
issue.
The Black Lives Matter Movement; I don’t know about all of your opinions about what is going on. All
revolutions are bloody. It is not going to change unless people come forward like they are doing now. It
is so clear that things have to change. The Civil Rights’ Movement in the ‘60’s didn’t get the job done. It
is still here, Folks.”
2 TRUTH & 1 LIE
a) I played middle linebacker on a football team whose team’s quarterback was
Lenny Dawson. (True)
b) I published a small book of poetry. (Lie)
c) I was fired from a General Motors Management job for insubordination. (True)
