Obituary
The Passing of Bill Boyd
Posted by President Mike Fackney
It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of Bill Boyd, Kathy Bryant's father. Bill was an outstanding Rotarian. He held many positions in Rotary, domestically and internationally, including that of President of Rotary International. Bill was awarded the Queens Service Order for Community Service, and made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit. He is a Paul Harris fellow, many times over. He will be sadly missed by his family, and Rotary family.
 
On your behalf, I have expressed the sincere condolences of the Club to Kathy and her family.
 
Mike Fackney, President

Parting Thought
 
Robin Fenwick provided the parting thought at the end of our "fish and chip" evening -
 
"All things in their beginning are good for something"
George Herbert (Outlandish proverbs 1640)     and 
 
" He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first rung"
Walter Scott (Kenilworth vii 1821)
