As preparations were being finalised for the 1997 RI Convention in Glasgow, Scotland, the Braids Rotary Club was asked by the Organizers to help restore the graveside of Jean Harris. RI President Luis Giay (and other Rotary International officials) made it known that they wished to visit the last resting place of Rotary founder Paul Harris' widow some 30 miles away in Edinburgh. The Braids Rotary Club - as the local club - decided to commemorate Jean's grave by placing a plaque at the cemetery gates.
