Dear Editor:

As a member of the Rotary Club I want to thank my friend Hazen Smith for taking our visiting Rotarians from Barcelona, Spain out lobstering on his fishing boat, Jenny Barter. Hazen not only provided the boat, gave everyone a lesson on hauling traps, sizing lobsters, baiting, identifying females with eggs, and let his guests band a few lobsters, he also gave us 20 lobsters for the paella one of the Spanish Rotarians made for us for our dinner on Thursday and the quiche on Saturday.

This was a highlight of their 10-day exchange trip with our club.

Thank you, Hazen.
