"Within
three months from the date of that meeting, Jean became Mrs. Paul Harris
and two years later he placed her in a home of her own on the top of the
wooded hill, having christened [named]
the place “Comely
Bank” in honor of the street in
beautiful Edinburgh where Jean’s eyes first opened to the light of day.
It will be observed that Paul internationalized his family before inter
nationalizing Rotary,
thus manifesting the possession of sporting blood
and of his willingness to take his own medicine. He hopes that the
international character of his marriage with Jean may prove to be a good
omen for Rotary."
