Terry and Marlenes American Rotary visitors

Club Visitors Mon 23 Sept Luddite Terry and Marlene played hosts to their friends Rotarian Paul and Marne Busch from the Rotary Club of Wabasha Minnesota USA. Paul and Marnes daughter Brianna was a Rotary exchange student in 1998-99. There were various host Luddite families for Brianna during her year long stay studying at Heckmondwike Grammar School. Together with Terry and Marlene there were also hosts John (Keen), David (Goldthorpe) and Martin. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Robert was District Youth Chairman in that year and he involved our club in the exchange visits. Bill Fox was Club President 1998-99. After Brianna's stay hosts Terry and Marlene developed a long friendship with Brianna's parents Paul and Marne. Paul was Terry's guest at the club meeting on Mon Sept 16th and Paul visited again on Mon 23rd with his wife Marne and with Terry's wife Marlene.
