He also encouraged members to consider attending the RI Convention June 21-25 in Calgary, because it's relatively close and a beautiful location. Karen reported that there is a great need for #1 size diapers, Truman also has the annual drive for coats & jackets and other winter clothing beginning. Please bring any of these items to the next meeting. 

   Dick was introduced by Julie Westering. It was interesting to hear his many accomplishments over the years. He was awarded the RI Cliff Dochterman Award and the Rotary Scouts Award to name a very small part of his recognitions. Dick comes from a family that immigrated to America in 1634, back in the Pilgrims' time period, with English history even earlier than that. He gave a lot of local history information including the fact that the covered Bridgeport bridge is the largest remaining covered bridge in the world. It was damaged in floods but restored in 1984-1986 by the state. The family owned and operated the first dairy in San Francisco in 1849 and Dick has barrels from that time period. The milk cost $3.00 at that time and provided a huge income for the family. Dick showed the picture of his current home that includes part that was rolled one quarter mile from the Auburn Ravine area to its current location. Another picture showed how the truck delivered trees to projects in his comments about the nursery. Dick provided a speech loaded with history and interesting information. To catch up on the details there is a ton of information online about the Fowler Family that greatly influenced the town of Lincoln and surrounding area.
