 Why I am a Rotarian by Professor Peter
Diepold DG 11/12 1800
In 1954, as a German exchange
student to the US, the RC Waltham, MA helped us high school
students raise $ 2.700 by selling one-dollar "Shares in
Democracy" in order to continue the exchange program. I was
impressed by the spirit of helping young people help themselves
and of furthering understanding between nations. Later on the RC
Waltham made it possible for me to attend Brandeis and
Yale
Universities. Ever since I
had hoped to become a Rotarian myself.
Prof. Peter Diepold, Past President RC Göttingen, Governor
11/12 Distrikt D-1800.
