Dear Dick,
As you prepare to move away, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for all you’ve done for the MT Sunrise Rotary Club. You've brought your unique life experiences, warmth, and a boundless spirit of service that have truly enriched our club and community.
Your journey from Washington, D.C., through Kansas, Vietnam, and college sports has shaped you into a person of resilience and dedication. The stories you’ve shared—whether about growing up with the "anything is possible" outlook, your Air Force years, or your time in Milwaukee—have been inspiring. From your contributions in the financial world to your passion for sailboat racing, you've shown us all the rewards of a life well-lived.
We know that your work with the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center and the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin will continue to leave a lasting impact. But more than anything, we’ll miss the joy you bring to each meeting and event, your kindness, and the friendship you've extended to each of us.
As you move forward to this new chapter, please know that you will always have a place here in our hearts and in the MT Sunrise Rotary Club. Thank you for your incredible dedication and service, and we wish you fair winds and following seas in all your future endeavors.
With warmest wishes,
The MT Sunrise Rotary Club
