Our Past Director Larry Parks, who has brought
us many great speakers, has himself given an interesting and controversial
interview to Financial Sense Online. Larry just wrote me the following message:
Dear Matts:
Last week I gave an interview to Financial
Sense Online that outlines how our pensions and savings could disappear as a
result of corruption and dishonesty in our monetary system.
Writes Christopher J. Andrews, a listener:
"You interview was incredible and has changed my perspective
forever."
It may change yours, too.

Our traveling goodwill ambassador Bill De Long (83 years old) is
out on new adventures. He left New York as soon as his beloved baseball team
New York Mets bit the dust. I received the following message from Past
President 2001-2002 Helen Reisler about Bill:
Dear Mrs. Reisler,
Bill asked me to send you an e-mail. He arrived at Leipzig from Minsk on
Saturday and had a good journey. He is ok.
Bill hopes that all will be ok with Mil, he is thinking about him very much.
Bill is living this week in Eilenburg, a little town around 30 km from Leipzig,
where the flood has destroyed much of houses. There he is working these days.
On Saturday we showed our work und visited a nursing home for seniors in
Leipzig. On Sunday he had a sightseeing tour in Leipzig.
This evening Bill will visit one Rotary club in Leipzig, on Wednesday he will
visit another Rotary club in Leipzig.
If you want to contact him you send an e-mail to my address.
Sincerely Carmen Gellwitz
