My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, Today is Tree Planting Day in many Chinese communities worldwide. Today marks the 75th anniversary of the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, I am sorry if you could not access Frank Devlyn’s Website based on what I gave you in my last letter and I thank the readers for letting me know early. In a rush, I had typed a dot between frank and devlyn. The correct…
