INDUCTI= ON – Welcome to K= it Bobko, who joined our club today. Bob began the induction, Rick Koenig, Kit’s sponsor, handed over the pin, Certificate, apron, and Objects of Kiwanis plaque, and introduced Kit as an attorney. Kit was gracious in accepting everything – evem the “slightly used apron” that Earl selected for him. Kit invited us all to Gallery C to hear his uncle, a Shuttle Astronaut, talk. He also told us about the attorney who’s client insisted that the attorney hold his money and be sure it was buried = with him upon his death. He kept the money until client died. At the funeral, another attorney friend quietly checked the open coffin for the money. Not seeing anything, he went to the attorney inquire about the apparently missi= ng cash. The attorney said, “don’t worr= y, I left him a check”.
