Congratulations! I was part of the home district's 1994 team to New Zealand. In 1994, I worked as a dietitian at Victory Hospital in Waukegan and my boss, Sue Hart, suggested that I apply. Please send my thanks to the Rotarians in New Zealand! Should any of them wonder, I currently live in Boulder, Co to be with Doug, my boyfriend at the time of the GSE trip. I work at a subsidiary of Emerson Int'l. The engineering/manufacturing co reminds me of some of the businesses that the GSE team got to see in Auckland district. Best to you all! Mary Schwaba
