Jim and Shannon Munns are Civil War history buffs, and they talked with us about Wisconsin’s role in the conflict. They’re also active re-enactors, with a deep knowledge of the day-to-day lives of the soldiers. At the start of the war, Wisconsin sent 91,000 men to fight out of a total population in 1848 of 700,000. Twelve thousand died, with 3,800 killed in action and the remainder dying of dysentery, wounds, etc. We also learned about Old Abe, the eagle who traveled to the war with his owner. Jim and Shannon brought lots of historic and replica items – bullets, revolver, rifle with bayonet, and more -- to enhance the experience.

In a recent interview with the Daily Express, Donovan said that listening to poetry piqued his interest in creative writing. “If I...
Rotary's fourth World Polio Day celebration, on 24 October, will highlight extraordinary progress in the eradication campaign and emphasize the work that remains before we wipe out the virus for good. With the number of new cases worldwide nearly halved from this time last year, we have the opportunity to rally our resources and see the last case of polio this year.
Health officials and Rotary's celebrity polio ambassadors will head to Atlanta, Georgia, USA, for the event, the first to be held at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It will be streamed live and then will...
The way Rotary member Todd Jenkins puts it, he's the first generation in his family "to do everything": first to go to college, first to fly on a plane, first to visit another country, and the first to live across state lines.
Jenkins, 28, grew up in a low-income neighborhood in Columbia, South Carolina, USA. His family worked hard just to make ends meet. So travel and college seemed out of reach.
The eldest of ten children, Jenkins says his goal was to break out of the family status quo and set a positive example for his siblings. He credits his mother with helping him avoid falling into the...
