Past District Governor Bernie Walshe passed away in November.  Bernie was a member of Rotary Hawthorn with the vocation of Financial Planner.  But what a member!  Inducted into the Club on 19 May 1992, he aptly started his Rotary journey as a member of the Fellowship committee helping to plan social events for the then 90 members.
