Saint Patrick’s Day fines were short but sweet with substitute Finemaster George Fasching. He was disappointed that the menu was corned beef and cabbage as he had been looking forward to his favorite, chicken.
Francine Chiu was first on George’s list. He enjoyed her Craft Talk last week and noticed a very important item she left out – she is a graduate of Alhambra High School, as is George himself. While disappointed that she didn’t know any of the same teachers, after noting the 57 years between their years of graduation, he admitted it might be understandable. Francine’s fine was half of those 57 years, $26. (Fasching math seems to be related to Rider math.)
Next up was a photo of a young bikini-clad woman who apparently had wandered into a Rotary meeting in years gone by. Ernie Jensen was put on the spot to identify the year since he was President in 1991 and has lots of memories – all of which have been photographed by Frank Perini. Ernie remembered very well that it was a meeting at the Holiday Inn in 1989. For his excellent and accurate memory, Ernie was rewarded with a zero fine.
