Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Stewart Abbot brought back a version of the 4:40 and had members of our group do a 3:30 to let us know a little about themselves. First up was Jean Morell. Ms. Morrell is from Findlay, Ohio home of Cooper Tires. She was an American Field Foreign Exchange Student in Norway for a summer. The Rotary Club in her community awarded white blazers to the top five students in her community. Jean went to Bowling Green University and went to Michigan to teach school. She went back to Bowling Green to get her Master's but was discouraged to do so because it may threaten men. Jean found her way to Greeley and became UNC's Assistant Dean of Students. She was the first female Dean of Students at UNC and her nickname became Dean Jean! Jean met Pete Morrell while she was at UNC and was the founding mother of A Women’s Place.
Next up was Bruce Johnson who was born a mile and a half north of Greeley. His greatest experience was high school but he was not a great student. He is not good with names but could tell you everything about the person. He worked in the banking industry for many years and also did sales but was able to close the deal. Bruce was a member of the Eaton Rotary Club and took pride in RYLA and Young RYLA. Bruce shared a scared straight experience he had at the county jail and is grateful for the experience.
Last was Frank Oliver, he was born in the hills of West Virginia. Frank moved to Colorado in 1960 and was in the Air Force. After his time in the service, he worked for the Public Service Company of Colorado in Englewood, Colorado. In 1978 he joined the Englewood Rotary Club and moved to Greeley in 1980 to work for the Greeley Gas Company (Atmos Energy now) and joined Centennial Rotary shortly after. Frank has done sales, marketing, and training. After his time working for Greeley Gas, Frank went to work for a wholesale company as a regional manager but was fired because he gave the company the suggestion to fire the regional managers to save money. Frank bought Copyright Printing in 1990 and sold it in 2013. His wife took early retirement from State Farm so they have been doing alot of traveling and has been to 49 states.
