Quote from Gloria:
A Rotary Moment: One of my many Rotary moments is when my husband, Don, and I went to India to give polio vaccine to children under the age of five. After spending the day with two healthworkers, who spoke only Hindi, and of course we spoke only English, one of them called me her friend. I was touched. To think we didn’t even have to speak the same language to work together and care about each other. It was very emotional, and very rewarding.
