Dear Bill,

N.B. Belated report !
Our veteran member John Lane G2CJL passed
away on February 19.
John was a former District Governor and a
prominent participant in many Rotary and Roar functions.
He was UK Treasurer of the Rotary Polio-Plus
campaign from its beginning in 1985 until his death.
We send sincere sympathy to his widow Betty
and all their family in Cheddar.
