Rotary District Governor Jon Bullock visits Wichita Falls North Rotary Club
Rotary District Governor Jon Bullock visits Wichita Falls North Rotary Club
 
 
This was the District Governor’s official visit for the year.
 
 
 
 
First, he talked about the upcoming Vibrant Club Workshop in Weatherford, Texas. Next, the DG played and sang an excellent Rotary song that he had composed. The official program featured a novel discussion among the DG, AG Clint, and President Matt. It was a very good, new method for a DG presentation.
The highlight of DG Jon's presentation was a serenade that he wrote and sang for us.

Wichita Falls North Rotary helps long-time Wichita Falls Rotarian celebrate
 
Last week was a special time for Wichita Falls Rotary Club as Wichita Falls Rotarians from all 3 clubs took a moment to honor long-time Rotarian, Jim Hughes.
 
 
 
Inducted into the Rotary Club of Wichita Falls in November of 1979 by Rotarian (and his father) Jim Hughes, Jim has had almost 45 years of perfect, weekly attendance.  His influence has been great, and has paved an easy path for future Rotarians who follow in his footsteps.

The day the Music Died
The day the Music Died
 
 
 
 Bill Smith, a pilot and retired flight crash investigator, spoke at our May 10th meeting about the Buddy Holly plane crash.
 
 
 
 
Member Clint Wood Introduced Bill Smith as our weekly program. As a pilot and a retired flight crash investigator, he was able to inform us about the famous Buddy Holly plane crash on February 3, 1959, a sad day for many of us in the Wichita Falls area.
 
Don McClean’s 1971 song “American Pie” was about the Buddy Holly plane crash, which also took the lives of The Big Bopper, who sang Chantilly Lace” and Ritchie Valens, who sang “La Bamba.” The crash investigation showed the accident was due to an inexperienced pilot! Sadly, Buddy’s mother and pregnant wife saw the news story on TV before they were notified! A very sad loss of great musical talent! Many thanks to Bill for his presentation!
