Dr. Harry Daugherty makes visiting Rotarians and guests feel welcome as he warmly greets and officially introduces our visiting Rotarians and guests.  In the background:  Our top-notch Charlotte Rotary president, Ronnie Pruett and Charlotte Latin's Headmaster and our own fellow Rotarian, Ned Fox.

Our head table was one to boast about:  Ned Fox, Curt Farmer (First Union National Bank,) Dr. Eric Smith (Superintendent of Schools/Charlotte-Mecklenburg) and one-half of John Lassiter (Carolina Legal Staffing.)

Everyone's friend, Don Steger chatting with the other half of our head table:  Jim Kiser (NationsBank Corp.,) Dr. Cindy Johnston (Central Piedmont Community College) and Price Gwynn III (eyeing his dessert!)

(Notice how we wisely seated representatives from both banks at the head table.   Are we smart or what?)

Ed Kizer (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) --- one of Charlotte Rotary's finest - and wisest - gentlemen. Ed informed our membership about the Rotary Foundation Scholarship Program and the guests from private and public high schools who we'd be honoring that day.
