PROGRAM: Since our program didn't show (a first for program chairman Rick), we sweet-talked visiting former Lt. Gov. John Nicholson into tap-dancing for us. He became a Kiwanian many years ago when he found out you didn't have to own your own business to join (e.g. Harry Smith with Telephone Co.). He knew many of our old timers like Logan Cotton, Ed Engel, Harry, Charlie Imai, etc. In 1970 he became Key Club Chairman for his club and still is. He has also been Division and District Sponsored Youth Chairman. He shared several anecdotes from his experiences with sponsored youth.
