Adding to Calvin’s woes, the rains came and held attendance to four tables, but Nancy pressed on after failing to convene an emergency meeting of the membership team (who knew not they had been summoned to a meeting). The Pledge ensued and Ad’s input ended abruptly in favor of a rush for the striped bass, accidentally sweeping Skip Sisson to the head of the chow line. Alan Devoe from Greenwich and Paul Burnham from Wilton were our corps of visiting Rotarians. Chase DiPanni timed his return to the fold to be here to work the Lobsterfest and to remind us he has just completed 44 years of perfect attendance, leaving Rini and Sisson in the dust of 22 years. John Burns was back, having delayed his return from the Cape to minister to Barbara, who had a sinking spell as she teed off with an early morning foursome. Ed Nordgaard tore himself away from his cherished Minnesota and entered a correction of his Email address to engaard@hotmail.com. Ted Bonner again forgot to deposit his Rotary profile but faxed his Email location as jtbonner@jtbonner.com.
Nancy was clearly dragging her heels, reluctant, as she was to offer an extended forum to the assembled Democrats present, but at exactly 12:45, just as Kevin arrived, she signaled for attention. First, she confessed that Ron had a peek at last week’s bulletin and was ecstatic to learn he was number one in Nancy’s book. David Rucci took the floor to synchronize watches and recite the Manual of Arms for Rotary Lobsterfests. It seems that this year we will host a ferret from a regional health department who intends to hold our feet to the fire to maintain sanitary standards. For those with contaminated fingers, David produced a super duper little jiffy portapotty hand washing machine and autoclave. Although David Bryant was ready to hoist the fifteen-foot LF banner, Judy Neville insisted he keep it wrapped up until 11 a.m. Friday. Jim Azzarito had provided for the tent and there were strong indications the right tent would be in place when David’s banner flew. So much for that performance. We had yet to endure Sgt@Arms Scott Hobbs; still resting on his songwriting skills for bippity boppity boo. Not wanting to steal our Speaker’s thunder, Scott tabled his bon mots and set about to collect a few quid.
Nancy called upon Town Councilman George Baker to introduce Diane Farrell. And in his best Ed McMahon delivery, he intoned, “She’s Baaaaack”. Well, it’s true, it was deja vue all over again. Diane, the pretty sorceress of sophistry allowed as how those professors at Wheaton had taught her that all politics is local and this time, two years later, she is ready to claim squatter’s rights. About the time she spoke of her backing from moveon.org, Nancy arose to spring the crowd.
