Rotary Club honors
more World War 11
veterans (third time!)
The Kings Mountain Rotary Club has again taken more
local World War II veterans to Washington, DC, to see their
memorial-free of charge. The April 10 trip, sponsored by Ro-
tary District 7680 Flight of Honor, was part of the Honor
Flight Network begun in 2006 by Jeff Miller, a businessman
from Hendersonville, NC. There were 117 veterans who en-
joyed a full day of special treatment.
Three local veterans were part of this flight: Connie Alli-
son, Glee Bridges, and Dr. George Plonk. The trip began at
Charlotte Douglas Airport on a chartered US Airways jet.
Their arrival at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC,
was celebrated with water cannon salutes, flag-waving up:
porters, an orchestra, and many USO volunteers.
After loading onto four deluxe motor coaches, the group
traveled first to the Air Force Memorial. Following that stop,
they moved on to the Marines Iwo Jima Memorial. The vet-
erans then were treated to a picnic lunch at a local park.
The final stop was at the World War II Memorial, erected
in 2004 in honor of those who fought. There they received
a special greeting from former Senator Elizabeth Dole. After
a ride past the White House, Capitol building, the Pentagon,
and other parts of the nation’s capital, the buses took the vet-
erans back to the airport for the return flight to Charlotte.
Upon arrival, dozens of friends, supporters, and Rotarians
welcomed them home with shouts of appreciation and
thanks. ’
As stated in Tom Brokaw’s book, The Greatest Genera-
tion, these heroes were people “...who survived difficult
times and were bound by common values of honor, patriot-
ism, loyalty, and love of family.” They are truly part of a gen-
eration of remarkable Americans.
Kings Mountain Rotary Club President Johnny Harris
stated, “This is one of the best projects Rotary has ever done.
These veterans deserve our thanks for their sacrifice and
service during World War II. If it were not for these heroes,
we would not be enjoying the freedoms we have today.

Funny Money” is sponsored by The

“Funny Money” has content for mature
audiences.
The story:
On his birthday middle-aged Henry
Perkins (Jim Champion) is going home to
Fulham on the underground, looking forward
to his birthday dinner to which he and his
wife Jean ( Dawn Rickus) have invited their
old friend, Vic (Michael Medlin) and Betty
Johnson ( Amanda Scanlon) while on the
train he accidentally picks up the wrong
‘briefcase without noticing it. He opens the
briefcase to get out his gloves but finds in-
stead 735,000 in used 50 notes. He goes to a
pub and counts the money several times in a
booth in the gents room. Plain clothes cop
Davenport (Frank Lattimore) watches the ex-
cited man and believes he has come to the
pub to solicit men.
" Foreseeably, unforeseeable events inter-
vene in Henry’s plan to take the money and
flee to Barcelona. While he is still explain-
ing to his reluctant wife that they have to
leave in a hurry, Davenport - whom Henry
doesn’t recognize from the pub- arrives and
wants to have a talk with him O f course
Henry thinks this is about the money and a
whole series of (deliberately) mistaken iden-
tities ensues. Taxi driver Bill ( Dylan
Painter), the criminal Mr Big ( Jeff Grigg)
and policewoman Slater (Rhonda Finder) all
arrive at Henry’s house adding to the mass
confusion and utter hilarity.
