How much of Rotary was formed by long discussions on very slow boats and trains?

A profound essay on the mode of travel and its affect on Rotary in the early years of the last century, by Norm Winterbottom.

"In this century of mass air travel, instant communication and lasting friendships made without any face-to-face contact, it is not easy to comprehend the difficulties that confronted our Rotary forebears in communicating with each other and in traveling to Conventions."

An essay from RGHF board member (07/08) Norm Winterbottom, New Zealand.
