Howie
was our
quintessential
Rotarian
– he was
always
there,
stepping
forward
before
anyone
else.
His
choice
of an
annual
hike in
the High
Sierras
kept him
from
claiming
perfect
attendance,
but
family
came
first.
Who can
forget
his
long-time
sponsorship
of the
Braille
Institute
Christmas
luncheon?
It was
hard to
turn him
down,
because
he led
with his
heart,
and we
all had
to
follow.
Howie
joined
Rotary
on 18
November
1952,
and
served
as our
President
in
1964-65.
He was
Rotarian
of the
year in
’75 -76.
His
leadership
of our
Polio
support
campaign
in the
1980’s
produced
a check
for over
$120,000,
and he
continued
to
support
our
eradication
efforts.
Yes,
Howie
Henkes
is our
Rotarian,
and we
will
miss
him.
