our own members. One is PP Jerry Washam, a member for forty years; he was president 1994-95, and provides office space for the RCPC office in his own office in Snider Plaza. He also sponsored the first woman member and recommended Laurie Aldredge. Orville Salmon gave the invocation and noted that John Maluso is still recovering from a seri-ous car wreck. Please keep in your prayers him and Howard Parker whose wife has passed away. Joys today were that Bill Hil-berth, PP Rosemary Domecki, and for-mer member Bart Noble were back with us, Mary McMahon also was “joyful” that her daughter was making and selling jewelry. PP Rick Amsberry led the Pledge of Allegiance and “The Star Spangled Banner.” Kendall Laughlin, assisted by Jeff McNaughton with the mike, introduced our visitors and guests. Teri Thomas announced The Hub and web advertisers in the new RCPC Market-place. PP Jerry Washam reported that he had already received five checks for the RC

PC Foundation. Barb Jeffries reported that she would be hosting the first Web-lite of the year, using Go-To-Meeting. Mark Kashar

announced the first PCR Connect and re-minded us that “if youʼre not networking your business, youʼre not working.” Nolan Duck thanked all of the PCR Marketplace adverti-

The Hub. President Eric presented PP Cleve with his Presidential Citation from Rotary Inter-national. Well deserved!

PP Phillip Bankhead intro-duced our speaker today, Patrick Kennedy, an urban planner with Space Between Design Studio, who spoke on how removing I-345 would

improve Dallas and update the sur-rounding neighborhoods. He believes that removing the freeway would im-prove the quality of life. He said that Dallas historically opposed building freeways through the city. Removing free-ways creates a smaller infrastructure for daily destinations. Vancouver never built freeways nor widen city streets, so the street grid gets more use. Highways that decrease in size in the city cause thru-traffic to go around the ci-ty; the city stays at a more human scale. At peak hours highways have choke points, and no amount of widening will eliminate them. However, improving the city street grid adds capacity and gives options to avoid conges-tion. City streets can handle more traffic than they are built for. Research has shown that no matter how many highways are built, the average time to commute does not change. He also noted that Dallas must build and main-tain freeways for people who live and pay tax-es in other cities, and who often are just pass-ing through. There is a big demand for walk-able urban areas. The success of Uptown is a good example. Dallas has grown very little compared to the surrounding suburbs and has lost jobs to areas to the north and west. He believes that if you want economic develop-ment, a city must build for slower speeds.

THOUGHTS ON . . .

When I was a boy I was told that any-body could become President. Now I'm beginning to believe it.

~ Clarence DarrowIn America any boy may become President and I suppose it's just one of the risks he takes.

~ Adlai E. StevensonThe simplest schoolboy is now famili-ar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.

~ Ernest RenanBoyhood, like measles, is one of those complaints which a man should catch young and have done with, for when it comes in middle life it is apt to be serious. ~ P. G. Wodehouse

After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. "Cold floors," he says. They nod and send him away.

Seven more years pass.  They bring him in for his two words. "I quit," he says.

"That's not surprising," the elders say. "You've done nothing but complain ever since you got here."
