  1. Congratulations. As a former member of a very active Rotary club I know the work that goes into these kind of activities. Knowing Anne and Steve Enquist I also know the kind of members your club must have.
    BTW, in 1968 I spent about 10 weeks as a neighbor of yours. It was called Basic Combat Training across I 5 at a place called Ft. Lewis. I still break into a sweat thinking of that full pack march up and down and around that “hill”.
