--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the convention in Birmingham soon to dominate the Rotary world, this submission from RGHF senior historian Basil Lewis, UK, was just in time.

It is an article about Paul Harris' first visit to Rotary Club of Birmingham, and links to many other relevant posts.

I think that Harris would be pleased with the work that RGHF is doing for Rotary Global History. Someday, Rotarians will see this work and benefit from it. Hundreds of thousands of links, over 100,000 files, thousands of pages, and much more to come.
