[Rotary] Frank Engelhardt

[Pam Hudson]

Dear Rotarians:

Frank was the best example of humanity anyone could meet.  He was responsible for my joining Rotary and a key part of our confidence in continuing our efforts to establish a new life on the coast.  He was an incredible friend, mentor and neighbor.  I have trouble imagining what it must be like for Beverly as they were inseparable. 

Tom and I will look for him walking over our hills surrounding our home forever.  

I miss you all. 

Fondly, Pam
