A SILHOUETTE OF PAUL AND JEAN IN THEIR SUN ROOM
 |
PAUL AND JEAN ENJOYING THEIR BEAUTIFUL SUN ROOM
"Jean is essentially a home
girl, a lover of good books and of the wholesome things of life.
She and Paul spend their evenings, as a rule, in “Comely Bank,” reading together. When it is Paul’s turn to read,
Jean’s busy fingers fashion garments for the fatherless babes that are born
at Cook County hospital. She has made hundreds of such garments during
the course of years. Had Jean been a different type, Paul’s course
could not have been as it was. In her way she has made material though
inconspicuous contribution to the cause of Rotary." Paul Haris |
Jean and Paul at home where they observe "our ever changing picture of
hillside, friendship garden, pines and spruce, gnarled oaks, Winter snow
drifts, Spring flowers, Summer verdures Autumn colors, wary rabbits,
impudent squirrels, quarrelsome sparrows, voracious starlings, raucous Blue
Jays, Photo and text from "My
Road to Rotary" by Paul P. Harris, 1947 |

THE PLAQUE OVER THE WINDOWS OF THE SUN ROOM |
THE SUNROOM PLAQUE
 |
THE SUNROOM WAS PAUL AND JEAN'S FAVORITE PLACE TO
RELAX "...
tuneful redbirds, the milkman's flashlight, newspaper boy, mystic sunrise,
plodding mailman, friendly neighbors, and at eventide gleaming headlights of
thousands of gliding motorcars bearing wearing city toilers to the light,
warmth and love of their homes." Photo
and text from "My
Road to Rotary" by Paul P. Harris, 1947 |
