Program

Lester and Newspaper announcing his arrival Lester presented our program "It's Been Fun" in which he recounted his personal experiences in Kingman since his arrival here over a half century ago in 1953. He recalled what a great experience it was to be a teacher in his early Kingman days and named some of the great students that he met that are now community leaders and fellow Rotarians such as William. He also underscored the importance of this period in his life since it was also when he met his wonderful wife.

Lester continued relaying some of his experiences in coaching basketball during that time, later serving as principal for over 20 years, spending time on the Council as a councilman and later as mayor for 10 years, as well as various other local and regional leadership roles that he served on.

Thank you Lester for your entertaining program and for your years of service to Kingman in so many capacities!
