We need drivers and partici-pants on Saturday, October 26.  We will meet at HHS by 8:00am and be ready to leave for the SA, 9216 Harry Hines Blvd., 75235 (same location as always) as soon after 8:00 as possible.

Nicola Longford joined The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in October 2005 as Executive Director. Throughout her ten-ure, she has seen the Museum flourish as one of the most impor-tant “sacred places” in our country's history.

Ms. Longford said The Sixth Floor Museum is dedicated to collecting stories that have not yet been told and preserving those that have about the life, death and legacy of Pres. John F. Kenne-dy. She sees the 50th anniversary of Pres. Kennedy's assassi-nation as a transitioning point for the Museum. “We are entering a unique period where we are shifting from capturing and sharing the living memories of “rememberers,” those who lived through the assassination, to an inevitable dependence on this historical rec-ord and increasingly distant voices from the past,” she said.

“The assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy and the events in its aftermath have left an indelible imprint on our country, our collective identity and the national consciousness,” said Ms Long-ford. “Our continuing role will be to present these voices, stories and historical materials in engaging and inspiring ways for future generations, and to document the commemorative programming and interpretation that accompanies each significant milestone.”

Ms. Longford came to Dallas after spending 14 years at the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis, MO. From 2000-2005, she served as Vice President for Community Services, overseeing Collections and Conservation; Library, Archives and Still and

Before moving to St. Louis, Ms. Longford was employed by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Williamsburg VA (1984-1991) where she worked in a variety of different capacities in the Departments of Conservation, Archaeological Research, Architec-tural Research and Historical Interpretation.

Ms. Longford developed a graduate level course Effective Ac-tion in Museums in a new Museum Studies graduate program while at the U. of Missouri-St. Louis where she taught for several years, and also taught a graduate course Archaeological Conservation, Curation and Collections Management at Washington U.

She received a BA in French from Randolph-Macon in Lynch-burg, VA, and MA in anthropology at William & Mary in Williams-burg, VA.

President Cleve Clinton called the meeting to order. Lisa Amsberry gave the invo-cation, and noted that Kathy Schatzʼs father had passed away and that Jeff Sheehanʼs

sister may have cancer. Please keep them in your prayers. Nolan Duck, assisted by Richard Stanford with the mike, introdu-ced our visiting Rotarians and guests. Chris Short announced The Hub and web adverti-sers of the week. Nolan Duck read the clubʼs tribute to Joe Walker who recently passed away. His wife, Helen, and his son were present to receive a copy of the tribute and his badge. Joeʼs son thanked the club on behalf of his family. PP Fred Brown read the proposed slate of officers for the club for the 2014-15 Rotary year. Mark Kashar an-nounced the off-site meeting on October 25 at Bachman Recreation Center, and asked ever-

than those in all the other coun-tries combined. Americans did not steal the wealth; they in-vented, discovered and crea-ted the wealth, and the rest of the world is a lot better off be-cause of it. In creating that

yone to sign up on the website. Jack Kear-ney introduced our newest member Eliza-beth Jones.

PP Greg Pape introduced Glen Rowe, the Foundation Chair for District 5810. Glen started by saying that if you are in America, you are one of the best fed, best housed, best educated and freest people on the face of the Earth. Out of every 100 people only five are Americans, but they would own one-half of the wealth and have one-third of the earnings. Americans have more Nobel Prizes

wealth, Americans developed a sense of al-truism and philanthropy. In addition to giving away $310B a year, Americans volunteer their time. Rotary is the premier service club in the world. You can bring your passion and con-cern to Rotary and you will find others who share them. The Rotary Foundation is the only foundation where every dollar is used for projects and none goes for administration.

John Maluso introduced our new mem-

ington Arts Magnet. They moved to Dallas five years ago, and she is still learning to like Dallas. She is looking forward to getting more involved in Rotary.

Next to speak was Tania Boughton. She said her life started with a bang when she and her mom were on the last flight out of Iran. Her family moved to Texas when she was a teenager. She said she

was surrounded by great men. One of her grandfathers was a Rotarian. She was in the army, but left when she had her first child. She works for J. Hilburn, but also is the author of “Eating Right, Done Right.”

THOUGHTS ON . . .

When I was a boy I was told that any-body could become President. Now I'm beginning to believe it.

~ Clarence Darrow In America any boy may become President and I suppose it's just one of the risks he takes.

~ Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president. ~ Johnny Carson We need a president who's fluent in at least one language. Buck HenryNo man who ever held the office of president would congratulate a friend on obtaining it. ~ John Adams
