Rotarians carry the Olympic torch
By Arnold R. Grahl
Rotary News -- 24 July 2012







In 1958, Bob Izon ran the mile in world-record time in the under-16 age category, becoming the English schools champion.
But the most meaningful run of his life took place in May, when the founding member of the Rotary Club of Hereford Wye Valley, Herefordshire, England, carried the Olympic torch through his hometown.
Izon is one of several Rotarians who have carried the torch on its relay to the new Olympic Stadium in London for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics on 27 July.
“I consider myself very fortunate to have been chosen, as half the bearers are ages 15 to 25,” he says. “It gave me a chance to pursue three objectives: inspire the younger generation, publicize Rotary’s good works, and show that a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease does not always condemn one to a nonactive life.”
Parkinson’s disease
Izon was diagnosed with the disease in 1992 but has remained active as a Rotarian, a justice of the peace, and a school board member at St. Paul’s Church of England Primary School in Hereford.
The school’s students and their parents lined the road on 24 May for Izon’s portion of the torch relay. Members of his club bore a huge banner publicizing Rotary and their upcoming charity duck race. During an all-school assembly the next day, students spent more than two hours taking turns holding the torch that had carried the flame and having their photographs taken.

The Olympic Banana










Einstein developed a theory about space, and it was about time too.
==================
Two female amoebas started to divide, and soon one of them accused the other of stealing one of her digits. She said, "That's my toe, sis."

I just said to my friend, "Will you stop sending me jokes by mail!
"He said, "Why?"
I said, "I don't get them."

  7. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  8. Hey there! I realize this is sort of off-topic but I needed to
    ask. Does running a well-established website like yours require a massive amount work?
    I am completely new to blogging however I do write in my journal on a daily basis.

    I'd like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

  11. Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
    My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
