Last week I shared memories of the early years in the Middlesex County Rotary Club. Today I remember some of the fun members I had breakfast with every Tuesday morning. There was a great deal of laughter.

“Doc” Jones was a highly entertaining member. He served for many years as our Sergeant at Arms. One of his duties was to check to make sure each member came to the meeting wearing his or her Rotary pin.

“One Woman’s Opinion” served as a special feature of the Southside Sentinel for four decades, written by the late Urbanna resident Mary Wakefield Buxton. Traditionally a humorist, Mary has written a column on all subjects and sometimes in very serious vein. Along with writing a column for the Sentinel, she is also author of 15 books about life and love in Tidewater, Virginia.
