THE PROGRAM: TWO SUPERB CRAFT TALKS!!

Jim McKamy ---Born in 1965, the Year the Beattless took over the World of Youth. A graduate of Sonora High School, he progressed to Fullerton Junior College (actually Fullerton COLLEGE since 1972!). He liked being a Hornet so much he became Campus Security Officer for a spell.  Launched into a business career as a financial advisor, he was slated to attend a training session at the New York World Trade Center on September 11, 2000. There was a travel paper delay and he missed the class unbeknownst to family and friends who thought he was a casualty. The 55 messages, letters and E-mails he received of condolence made him a Believer in Providence, and the value of friendship. A bachelor by choice, he lives a life complete with KFC meals, chili cheese omelets and a TV remote,  plus a hobbies of stud poker, R-rated movies and fast cars.  He puts his considerable avoirdupois and girth into all his endeavors with gusto. He loves Rotary and the warm fellowship of its brethren and sisteren. Jim is a charming fellow. Thank you Jim, for sharing this with us.

 Al Tetrault -- Like Father, Like Son

  A "Marine Brat", son of a career Marine sergeant, Al took his early youth lead from his energetic father.  A so-so early experience in formal education taught him that passing a school test didn't mean that you understood the subject or mastered the trade.  Falling in at an early age with less dedicated but thirsty friends involved in the three deadly fluids (gasoline, spirits and perfume) led nowhere. So he buckled down to the automotive business first as a go-fer at McCoy-Mills Ford Dealership then because he became skilled in personal communications and computer systems, he rose to his current position as its Customer Relations head.  He is a living example of the credo, as he attests; not being "smart", but ability to learn is the key to success.  Al closed his talk with a choked up testimonial to his wife, Pam, the light of his life. A fine Rotarian, Al, thank you for sharing with us.
