UURRNNAAbbOOUUTTis fair play, right,
Karla, especially when it’s ironic?!
Scary Bob accidently photographed
himself. That’s an occupa-
tional hazard in a Hall of
Mirrors such as that in
which we dined this day.
So the paparazzo has
paparazzed himself.
PPrreessiiddeenntt KKiirrkk
belled us to order at 12:17, calling upon LB
the Good to give the Invocation and Michael
Baldwin to lead us in the
Pledge. (“Thanks, Bob!”)
KKiirrkk thanked new mem-
ber Gene Champagne
for greeting and sum-
moned “permanent back-
up sergeant-at-arms”
Rick Maucieri to wel-
come Visiting Rotarians and Guests.
From Plano Metro came Bert Kraft
while from Park Cities we had Mark
Thomason and Rick Amsberry.
CCaappttaaiinn KKiirrkk welcomed Gene
Champagne, Cathy Tyler, and Bev
Kilmer. Alan Feigenbaum introduced
Hendrick Scholarship Chairman and per-
manent bundle of energy, Robert E. Lee.
Rick Kasmiskie bade us welcome Mark
Smeltiu, and Sara Akers fed “my Daddy,”
Dr. Russ Egelston.
Then, with the excuse that he was only
following Nathan’s tradition, Rick corralled
Michael Baldwin for Inside the Rotar-
ian Studio. Michael was born in Sherman
and grew up in Temple. His first job was as
a paper boy which “didn’t pay enough.” His
high school was Temple. Asked if he was
part of a group, “Stoners or smokers?” he
responded that he was “not involved with a
lot of stuff.” College: Southern Nazarene
University, Bethany, OK. He’s married with
a son and daughter, the latter a senior in
high school. He met his wife when she was
his teacher at the (old) Prestonwood Sunday
School. He prefers the beach to the moun-
tains; Beetles to the Rolling Stones; and ton-
sils over appendix though both are gone. He
likes Chevys over Fords, and his role model
was the Youth Director at his church. (Why?
TT
Did he marry a Sunday School teacher too?) He joined Rotary
at 21, being the youngest member in the club. His favorite
Rotary moment: right now. “So this is the highlight, huh?”
Rotary anniversaries were celebrated for Rick Horne
(2), Gerald Brence, and Camille Ussery (5).
Mentioning that the Golf Committee
meets directly after lunch, KKiirrkk called
Alan Feigenbaum to stump for sponsors
and introduce Robert Lee on behalf of
the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation.
Robert first thanked Wayne
Hendrick for his appearance (which was
dapper). Robert called him “a gentleman
among gentlemen,” and a man with a
“passion for kids” (not the lock-him-up
kind). Wayne created the Foundation 21
years ago; until two years ago, the Golf
Tournament provided 70% of its funding.
At present, the Foundation supports 52 stu-
dents on full four-year scholarships. <ap-
plause> “You’re not applauding me; you’re
applauding you.”
The students are working kids, sometimes the sole
support for their families, but they have the potential for
college. And Rotary’s support “has made a difference.”
Plano Rotary remains their biggest sponsor.
96% of clients are the
first in their family to attend
college. While of the popula-
tion of college students past
the 2nd year, only 48% grad-
uate, the Hendrick Scholars
have a graduation record of
94%. And that’s, in part, due
to the attention of the many
Board members in the room.
Of the 4,200 applicants
annually, the list is narrowed
to 60, who are asked to sub-
mit résumés. These are win-
nowed down to 10 by means
of one-on-one interviews. And the stories the interviewers
hear are very sad.
But we were not to be deluged with those stories today.
That’s for another program, no doubt. Robert offered but a
single wrenching tale of Karen, a scholar dropped for fail-
ure of grades. Her mother is mentally ill, and there is no
father, so Karen cares for her SIX siblings and works three
jobs to support hospital bills following an accident. To
prove her devotion to the program, she scraped enough
together on her own to reenroll, producing satisfactory
grades, and reapplied to Hendrick. The program agreed to
a probationary period during which it would fund ½ of her
studies and she the remaining.
Robert concluded by thanking Plano Rotary for help-
ing and “being such a good friend.”
KKiirrkk noted Sarah Watkins’ birthday, mentioned
needing two more volunteers for HHeerrooeess oonn tthhee WWaatteerr, told us
that next (this) week is Spirit Day, so we must dress in
our team colors. HHee suggested we sponsor a table for the
9-11 event held jointly by all Plano Rotary Clubs. And hhee
traded Red for Blue Badges with John Caldwell, who
had now earned it. The illusive Chris Henry was inexpli-
cably present to receive his Paul Harris+2 badge.
Scary Bob was dancing around, angling for shots,
prompting KKiirrkk to remark, “Bob’s like Muhammad Ali
standing over Sonny Liston saying, ‘No, wait, wait!’”
The program today was not
Hendrick but rather RYLA.
Rick Horne, our RYLA liaison,
explained that RYLA is a week-
long leadership camp with 180
kids from 5810 at Camp
Hoblitzelle. Oddly, leadership
isn’t taught in school (would you
want all chiefs and no Indians?) as
it requires a hands-on effort.
Our candidates come from Pla-
no Senior High, and Principal
Sarah Watkins invites us all to
the interviews in which we
choose our four from among the
elite of the student body. Rick is
confident that we can “leave the
country in their hands.” We can’t send more than four
because that would exceed the capacity of the camp. (Has
no one considered a larger venue?)
Three of our four participants were here today to extol
the virtues of the program. The fourth will pay his dues
later.
Avery Atterstrom, Rick described as, “a bundle of
energy who has applied to 12 colleges” with interests in
Civil Engineering. (I suppose Uncivil Engineering is left to the
military.) She was PSH’s Student of the Year, main-
tains a respectable 3.85 GPA, and
plays piano.
Avery thanked us profusely for
our sponsorship, and admitted that
“It changed my life” is a cliché but
insisted that it’s true. “Being at
RYLA is different from being in
school; everyone at RYLA is a lead-
er!” So you learn that you must co-
operate to come to a consensus. She
came away from the event with 25
new brothers and sisters, she said.

After Labor Day we will be providing mentors to meet with students weekly for lunch. Please let Earnest
Burke know if you would like to be a mentor at Memorial. That little extra time spent listening and guiding
those children can make a big difference in their lives.
Bert Kraft Metro
Mark Thomason Park Cities
Rick Amsberry Park Cities
Visiting Rotarian Home Club
Vig Balakrisnan Rick wants to use as an
inexpensive CPA. He is a school club treasurer
and is into dance, which flabbergasted Rick.
Vic thanked us “for
everything,” and con-
firmed that RYLA
“does change your
life.” It not only taught
him useful things but
“also inspired me” to
take ideas back to PSH.
As an only child, he
especially appreciated
acquiring new brothers
and sisters, and he even stunned his mother
when announcing his attendance at an im-
promptu reunion as “hanging out with my
brothers.” As a small child, he came from In-
dia to Plano where, as a foreigner, he felt out
of place, but at RYLA, he fit right in.
Leslie Parker was late to our meeting, as
she showed up first at SSoouutthhFFoorrkk RRaanncchh.
She is a camp counselor, although, as a partic-
ipant, not yet a RYLA camp counselor.
Leslie too affirmed
RYLA as “life-changing.”
She road home from
RYLA with Avery, and
they both found it hard to
leave. Paraphrasing Dor-
othy’s sentiments, she
said, “There’s no place
like RYLA!” RYLArians
are “unlike any other
people.” They’ve so much
energy and are so sup-
portive, and the high fives
are so addictive that she was trying to high five
everyone when she returned. She said that to
learn how to be a leader, you have to learn
“how to be a follower.” With the round-robin
debates you learn it’s better for you and the
group if you learn how to fail. The debates
started as shouting contests and ended when
someone screamed, “Hey!! I’ve done this be-
fore. Listen to me!” She too thanked us for
the opportunity and predicted that RYLA was
useful in “determining what we’ll be when we
grow up.”
Rick had his own prediction: RYLArians
would become active in INTERACT and even-
tually ROTARACT.
KKiirrkk said that RYLA started in Australia
and “has grown enormously. 160 leaders are
hard to manage, and hard to select, right,
Randy?” Randy denied that saying that you
only choose the kids “who work as brain sur-
geons on Saturdays.” KKiirrkk countered that it
sounded as if Randy was “one of their first
patients.” HHee explained that many of our par-
ticipants return as RYLA counselors. Then hhee
gave the speakers “paperweights,” and com-
plimented Rick Horne as one of the many
people working invisibly for the community.
LB the Radiant announced his wedding
anniversary for next (last) Wednesday. Lori
Roberts announced a RILI Reunion for next
(last) Saturday, and KKiirrkk led us in the Four-
Way Test, releasing us at 12:58.
Scary Bob claims that he’s received numer-
ous compliments on his creative photography;
so we’ll wait to hear the reaction of the victims

Scary Bob accidently photographed himself. That’s an occupa- tional hazard in a Hall of Mirrors such as that in which we dined this day. So the paparazzo has paparazzed himself. PPrreessiiddeenntt KKiirrkk belled us to order at 12:17, calling upon LB the Good to give the Invocation and Michael Baldwin to lead us in the Pledge. (“Thanks, Bob!”) KKiirrkk thanked new mem- ber Gene Champagne for greeting and sum- moned “permanent back- up sergeant-at-arms” Rick Maucieri to wel- come Visiting Rotarians and Guests. From Plano Metro came Bert Kraft while from Park Cities we had Mark Thomason and Rick Amsberry. CCaappttaaiinn KKiirrkk welcomed Gene Champagne, Cathy Tyler, and Bev Kilmer. Alan Feigenbaum introduced Hendrick Scholarship Chairman and per- manent bundle of energy, Robert E. Lee. Rick Kasmiskie bade us welcome Mark Smeltiu, and Sara Akers fed “my Daddy,” Dr. Russ Egelston. Then, with the excuse that he was only following Nathan’s tradition, Rick corralled Michael Baldwin for Inside the Rotar- ian Studio. Michael was born in Sherman and grew up in Temple. His first job was as a paper boy which “didn’t pay enough.” His high school was Temple. Asked if he was part of a group, “Stoners or smokers?” he responded that he was “not involved with a lot of stuff.” College: Southern Nazarene University, Bethany, OK. He’s married with a son and daughter, the latter a senior in high school. He met his wife when she was his teacher at the (old) Prestonwood Sunday School. He prefers the beach to the moun- tains; Beetles to the Rolling Stones; and ton- sils over appendix though both are gone. He likes Chevys over Fords, and his role model was the Youth Director at his church. (Why? TT
  • 2. Did he marry a Sunday School teacher too?) He joined Rotary at 21, being the youngest member in the club. His favorite Rotary moment: right now. “So this is the highlight, huh?” Rotary anniversaries were celebrated for Rick Horne (2), Gerald Brence, and Camille Ussery (5). Mentioning that the Golf Committee meets directly after lunch, KKiirrkk called Alan Feigenbaum to stump for sponsors and introduce Robert Lee on behalf of the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation. Robert first thanked Wayne Hendrick for his appearance (which was dapper). Robert called him “a gentleman among gentlemen,” and a man with a “passion for kids” (not the lock-him-up kind). Wayne created the Foundation 21 years ago; until two years ago, the Golf Tournament provided 70% of its funding. At present, the Foundation supports 52 stu- dents on full four-year scholarships. <ap- plause> “You’re not applauding me; you’re applauding you.” The students are working kids, sometimes the sole support for their families, but they have the potential for college. And Rotary’s support “has made a difference.” Plano Rotary remains their biggest sponsor. 96% of clients are the first in their family to attend college. While of the popula- tion of college students past the 2nd year, only 48% grad- uate, the Hendrick Scholars have a graduation record of 94%. And that’s, in part, due to the attention of the many Board members in the room. Of the 4,200 applicants annually, the list is narrowed to 60, who are asked to sub- mit résumés. These are win- nowed down to 10 by means of one-on-one interviews. And the stories the interviewers hear are very sad. But we were not to be deluged with those stories today. That’s for another program, no doubt. Robert offered but a single wrenching tale of Karen, a scholar dropped for fail- ure of grades. Her mother is mentally ill, and there is no father, so Karen cares for her SIX siblings and works three jobs to support hospital bills following an accident. To prove her devotion to the program, she scraped enough together on her own to reenroll, producing satisfactory grades, and reapplied to Hendrick. The program agreed to a probationary period during which it would fund ½ of her studies and she the remaining. Robert concluded by thanking Plano Rotary for help- ing and “being such a good friend.” KKiirrkk noted Sarah Watkins’ birthday, mentioned needing two more volunteers for HHeerrooeess oonn tthhee WWaatteerr, told us that next (this) week is Spirit Day, so we must dress in our team colors. HHee suggested we sponsor a table for the 9-11 event held jointly by all Plano Rotary Clubs. And hhee traded Red for Blue Badges with John Caldwell, who had now earned it. The illusive Chris Henry was inexpli- cably present to receive his Paul Harris+2 badge. Scary Bob was dancing around, angling for shots, prompting KKiirrkk to remark, “Bob’s like Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston saying, ‘No, wait, wait!’” The program today was not Hendrick but rather RYLA. Rick Horne, our RYLA liaison, explained that RYLA is a week- long leadership camp with 180 kids from 5810 at Camp Hoblitzelle. Oddly, leadership isn’t taught in school (would you want all chiefs and no Indians?) as it requires a hands-on effort. Our candidates come from Pla- no Senior High, and Principal Sarah Watkins invites us all to the interviews in which we choose our four from among the elite of the student body. Rick is confident that we can “leave the country in their hands.” We can’t send more than four because that would exceed the capacity of the camp. (Has no one considered a larger venue?) Three of our four participants were here today to extol the virtues of the program. The fourth will pay his dues later. Avery Atterstrom, Rick described as, “a bundle of energy who has applied to 12 colleges” with interests in Civil Engineering. (I suppose Uncivil Engineering is left to the military.) She was PSH’s Student of the Year, main- tains a respectable 3.85 GPA, and plays piano. Avery thanked us profusely for our sponsorship, and admitted that “It changed my life” is a cliché but insisted that it’s true. “Being at RYLA is different from being in school; everyone at RYLA is a lead- er!” So you learn that you must co- operate to come to a consensus. She came away from the event with 25 new brothers and sisters, she said.

Please let Earnest Burke know if you would like to be a mentor at Memorial. That little extra time spent listening and guiding those children can make a big difference in their lives. Bert Kraft Metro Mark Thomason Park Cities Rick Amsberry Park Cities Visiting Rotarian Home Club Vig Balakrisnan Rick wants to use as an inexpensive CPA. He is a school club treasurer and is into dance, which flabbergasted Rick. Vic thanked us “for everything,” and con- firmed that RYLA “does change your life.” It not only taught him useful things but “also inspired me” to take ideas back to PSH. As an only child, he especially appreciated acquiring new brothers and sisters, and he even stunned his mother when announcing his attendance at an im- promptu reunion as “hanging out with my brothers.” As a small child, he came from In- dia to Plano where, as a foreigner, he felt out of place, but at RYLA, he fit right in. Leslie Parker was late to our meeting, as she showed up first at SSoouutthhFFoorrkk RRaanncchh. She is a camp counselor, although, as a partic- ipant, not yet a RYLA camp counselor. Leslie too affirmed RYLA as “life-changing.” She road home from RYLA with Avery, and they both found it hard to leave. Paraphrasing Dor- othy’s sentiments, she said, “There’s no place like RYLA!” RYLArians are “unlike any other people.” They’ve so much energy and are so sup- portive, and the high fives are so addictive that she was trying to high five everyone when she returned. She said that to learn how to be a leader, you have to learn “how to be a follower.” With the round-robin debates you learn it’s better for you and the group if you learn how to fail. The debates started as shouting contests and ended when someone screamed, “Hey!! I’ve done this be- fore. Listen to me!” She too thanked us for the opportunity and predicted that RYLA was useful in “determining what we’ll be when we grow up.” Rick had his own prediction: RYLArians would become active in INTERACT and even- tually ROTARACT. KKiirrkk said that RYLA started in Australia and “has grown enormously. 160 leaders are hard to manage, and hard to select, right, Randy?” Randy denied that saying that you only choose the kids “who work as brain sur- geons on Saturdays.” KKiirrkk countered that it sounded as if Randy was “one of their first patients.” HHee explained that many of our par- ticipants return as RYLA counselors. Then hhee gave the speakers “paperweights,” and com- plimented Rick Horne as one of the many people working invisibly for the community. LB the Radiant announced his wedding anniversary for next (last) Wednesday. Lori Roberts announced a RILI Reunion for next (last) Saturday, and KKiirrkk led us in the Four- Way Test, releasing us at 12:58. Scary Bob claims that he’s received numer- ous compliments on his creative photography; so we’ll wait to hear the reaction of the victims below:
