    Rev. Doctor Robert W. Lamson

    Born 1935

    Rotarian since 1987

    A poet, by nature, Bob best describes the essence of who he is by writing. Hence, while walking in the woods with his dog, Gunney, he wrote the words for his bio.

    When I was a boy I used to lie on hillsides
    Reading clouds.
    Laughing at the artistry of what the wind would allow.
    Now I am a grandfather of 70 years
    Whose childrens children — do not think it odd-
    To watch a cloud.

    Thank God, I found a wife, who would join with me.
    To see a vision building in a Cumulus Sea.
    True! It only takes one person to have a dream.
    But 2 is better.
