Carleton recognized Phyllis for acting in his stead last week. Lawrence recognized his two new donkeys on the ranch. Grant recognized his son’s 7th birthday. Camille gave because she was going to have to work in Colorado. Sara gave because she was going to have to work in Tyler. Phyllis gave too but somehow I didn’t write the reason well enough that it could be read.
Announcements:
Carleton thanked Phyllis for conducting the meeting in his absence. Lawrence and Carleton reminded everyone of the need for speakers as we have none at all for the month of August. David Uribe announced that he was leaving Austin and going to Seminary in Buffalo, NY and begin the process of entering the Priesthood. We’re all very proud of him and his ambitious plans!!!
Speaker Highlights:
Our speaker was Lou Soucy, a retired Secret Service agent who served on Lady Bird Johnson’s team for a number of years. Lou was originally from Maine, attended UT-Austin and was a former helicopter pilot in the uniformed service. He entertained us with some interesting stories about his service with Ms. Johnson and the other locations where he served as an agent. These locations included Paris, Belgium and Monte Carlo. He once met Princess Grace and worked undercover to catch counterfeiters in Europe. He worked in the Secret Service from the Johnson Administration through the Clinton Administration. Thank You Lou for giving us such a great talk!!! Thank you Grant Sparks for bringing to the club, this most appealing speaker.
