Unheard of in the
early days of Rotary to note any retirement of back office staff, male
or female, The Rotarian
published a retirement notice as a news article
in the July 1960 issue. Equally unique was the publishing of the
photographs of Charlotte Lane and Thelma Decker, who retired at the end
of the 1959-1960 Rotary year, after attending the
International Convention in Miami-Miami Beach,
Florida, which was held May 29
through June 2, 1960.
