Program: Bob Sneed introduced today’s speaker
and fellow Rotarian, Tony Eichstadt. Tony stepped to the podium to share his
passion for photography. It has been his hobby for 40 years. For the past 7-8
years, it has been in the digital format.
His two favorite subjects are architecture and high
school sports. He revealed that he has given away “hundreds of the sports
photos to the players and their families for them to enjoy.” He also enjoys
taking photos during his numerous hiking trips that he has taken for
approximately 7 years.

Tony was kind enough to create a PowerPoint slide show
of some of his favorite photos, with accompanying music. (If you didn’t attend
the meeting, too bad because you missed some beautiful photographs!)
Concluding the presentation, Tony shared some of his
favorite stories and opened the floor to questions, of which there were many.
Eric Liggett
regained the podium to thank our speaker and to inform him that a donation will
be made in his name to the Mike Harrison Park fund.
