Harry Sullivan was a “snowbird” member for us at the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville. We always enjoyed seeing him at meetings and social gatherings during the times he was in our neck of the woods. We welcome his wife Kay to visit any time. She is just taking one day at a time, returning to visit the Georgia she loves in January 2010.
