DID YOU MISS LAST WEEK'S MEETING? HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
FORMER REPORTER DISCUSSED THE DECLINE OF TV NETWORK NEWS
Greg Dobbs launched his career in journalism as an editor for Paul Harvey on ABC Radio. While spending more than 20 years covering major news stories such as the Gulf War, revolutions and takeovers, natural disasters and civil wars as an ABC News correspondent, Dobbs earned two national Emmys as well as awards and recognition from groups such as the Society of Professional Journalists. Now a correspondent for HDNet television’s “World Report,” Dobbs has compiled the stories that happen behind-the-news-scenes for his book Life in the Wrong Lane.

Rotary passion is community service. I have worked with the community service committee on projects every year except when I was President of our club.
FAVORITE VACATION SITE
Vacations are a rare thing for me. My favorite place to spend time is in the mountains, preferably in a luxury hotel. Love to take car trips with my husband to visit museums and historical sites. San Antonio visit to the Alamo was a great trip.
SOMETHING NO ONE KNOWS!
I married my Prom date! Bill & I got married 5 years later, after college. That was 51 years ago in June.

A photo of Jackass Hill park, where Carolyn walks her dog, Rocky, daily. It is the highest point in Littleton. The Bradish's live directly below the spot where this photo was taken.

I get misty-eyed when I look at this great pic I took of Carolyn and Bill, along with Jim Bramley! BTW, I got a new phone, so future photos should be better!
