Mary Feldt was quick to remember being asked to be Sergeant at Arms by then President Otto Cordero. She was deathly afraid of public speaking but her respect of and encouragement from Otto won the day. The experience helped her overcome that fear and became one of her many, many Rotary high points. Among these are the Calgary International Convention, her Paul Harris award, Guatemala trips and bringing so many new members into our club.
Something we didn't know about Derek.
"As a kid I was obsessed with Harry Houdini. I became convinced I could do escapes just like him. I had my sister lock me in a large tool box. Fortunately she let me out when it became apparent that I wasn't Houdini."
What was your scariest moment?
Leo's scariest moment.
"In the early 70's I drove a cab in Milwaukee. One night my fare said "give me all your money" I never looked back to see if he had a weapon I just shoveled everything I had back to him. After that I never drove a cab at night. Also I never told my mother."
What was your most memorable moment?
Answer: "I loved theater and getting to play one of the leads in Look Homeward Angel was the high point.”
Background info: There were two female leads in the play, Eliza the old mother nag of the protagonist or his beautiful young love interest, Laura. You know which one Mary played!!
P.S. There is much more to this story just ask her.
What was your proudest achievement in school??
Bill Mowbray related that after kicking over the props in an elementary school drama production I pulled. myself together in high school. I was a trumpeter in the school's brass chorus. After playing the same piece for 3 years at the Wisconsin School Music Association Solo & Ensemble contest, we finally won first place with a perfect score.

Our friends from Costa Rica are arriving on Saturday - to wonderful Wisconsin weather. They wanted to see snow so it seems Santa is fulfilling their wish!
I have nearly all the items Maria will need to help keep her warm but am still in need of warm boots, size 7. Something like UGGs or other warm boots would be great. Also in need of warm wind or snow pants. Black. Size medium.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you have these items or know someone who might have them. Steven and Maria arrive on Saturday and will be here for about 10 days.
Eric Helsher, VP of Client Success at Epic, spoke about the very measurable impact of digital technology on treating disease and covering its cost. He walked us through an overview of Data Integration, Decision Support, Care at Scale, and Return on Investment. Gathering huge amounts of data and extracting meaningful implications guide medical practice toward reliably better outcomes. Most hospitals are now fully digital, gathering information on all their cases. Epic and others aggregate this data and show others how to ‘replicate cool things.’ It’s about population health and the ability of hospitals to monitor the vitals on thousands of patients in many different sites automatically. An exciting – and healthier -- future.
