I always thoroughly enjoy the 'Rotarian Behind the Badge' presentations, as invariably, some quite unexpected facts pop up, and so it was with Rusty's presentation this morning. OK, so we knew that Rusty is a member of the 'OBE' (Over Bloody Eighty) club and that he is still deeply involved as a Real Estate agent. Some of our members who were around in the years when he previously was a member of Surfers Sunrise (many, many 
moons ago) may recall that he got "hooked" into Rotary when he was selected to go on a Rotary Group Study Exchange (GSE) to Arizona. But did you know that, back in the days when Colonel Gaddafi was still in charge of Libya, Rusty was working in that North African country, teaching the locals how to drive farm machinery?
