Ahead of my next Rotary Club Meeting 25 5 13
At HIRC according to Google so I was advised by Dr E my sponser I guess I shall have to call him, the partner of a cousin of my wife's.
To be on the safe side I searched my old wallets for an old business card when among the many I decided to take one of the last I used to use when I styled myself E***** K*** CSci CChem FRSC standing for Chartered Scientist, Chartered Chemist, and Fellow of the Royal (of The United Kingdom) Society of Chemistry of KonsultancyK***, the name of my Consultancy which operated from 2004 11 29 the Monday of the first week of what should have been my retirement upon reaching the age of 65. Together with a photograph, a self portrait I took at the time when I still had dark hair, now turned grey in the intervening almost 20 years: and on the reverse side the same name but styling himself Chairman, Working Group of Cellulose Casing Manufacturers, based in Bruxelles, Belgium, as the headquarters of C.I.P.C.E.L. (COMITE INTERNATIONAL DE LA PELLICULE CELLULOSIQUE).
That is from being a boy in the summer of 1960, aged 20 1/2, when I was invited to attend my first meeting at the Kuusankoski, or possibly Kouvola branch of the Rotary Club, to tell the gathering something of the background to my applying for work in the Central Laboratory of Oy Kymene Ab in Kuusankoski.
Until I became seriously old I had never really contemplated attending another Rotary Club Meeting, despite an offer having been made some years earlier by this same person, Dr E., my sponser.
...to be continued in the light of the up-coming meeting?

This blog adorned by two dwellings which tell their own story, though the more run-down was not so run down when I lived 18 of my first 20 years in it. Not the more salubrious semi-detached house with gardens front and rear, into which I was born (with a fitted bathroom). The other dwelling where we have lived 36 years this 12 May, just gone moving in in 1989.
...and the sequel: only that it turned out to be a very memorable occasion when I met a bunch of mixed Finns, some Swedish, some Finnish speaking but a good many naturalised like me, both ladies and gentlemen and the presentation, from an administrater of the International body of the Red Cross, variously known as the Red Crescent Organisation, etc., neutral politically, but most gratifyingly, hearing about its work in its field hospital currently operating in the Gaza Strip, alongside Israel's GENOCIDE. A visit I shall be repeating later in the upcoming autumn!
