SPEAKER –
Our speaker was Bill Newell, one of the last 50 marines to leave the roof of the US Embassy in Viet Nam during the fall of Saigon. He told his story ‘Moth’ style, in a very easygoing, narrative manner. Everyone was moved to hear him relate his experiences. He referred to a book, “Last Men Out” by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin which tells much of the story.
RAFFLE –
Vinnie had the winning ticket, but drew the 6 of Hearts. Better luck next time Vinnie!
Respectfully submitted,
Rotarian Bryan
