CLASSIFICATION TALKS
 
Past President Raymond Erb, President of Easy Checks Puerto Rico,. for 11 years now, thanked fellow Rotarians who first got him interested in Rotary. He quickly pointed out three of the most important happenings in his life.  First, when he married Elizabeth in 1987 (she is also a San Juan Rotarian) and second & third, when his two sons graduated, respectively, from MIT and the Rochester Institute of Technology. In Rotary, Ray has always been geared toward working with young people.  With his year as San Juan Rotary president just finished, Ray is now the Chairman of our District 7000 Youth Activities Committee.

LAST WEEK
 
Past President Sal Nolfo introduced our speaker, Dr. Barry Grayson, Orthodontist & Facial Orthopedist. Repair of the disfiguring effects of cleft lip and palate birth defects is his specialty. It is in the sixth to eleventh week of pregnancy that the problem develops.  Causes are inheritance, environment or alcohol or cocaine and occurs in one out of 600 to 700 births, mostly affecting males. The sooner reconstructive surgery begins (at birth is ideal) the better results are achieved. We saw amazing before and after slides of the dramatic changes that take place in the faces of these youngsters. Dr.Grayson is associated with New York University Medical School. We thank Sal Nolfo for this most interesting program.
