Daniel Boone Meets Vasco da Gama
By Mary Ellen Miller
When our Johnson City Noon Rotary Club Treasurer Theresa Billings heard I was traveling to the Azores in October with my husband, she sent me abroad with our club flag featuring Daniel Boone. What an honor and privilege it was to take part in an international club flag exchange with Marie Sousa in Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. I returned with their club flag and presented it to our past president Brackton Smith. The Portuguese love to explore (we saw a statue of Vasco da Gama at the port in Angra, Terceira.) so naturally, Marie enjoyed receiving the flag featuring our frontier folk hero.
