Mr and Mrs Lovat Grant were guests of honour at the lunchtime meeting of the Rotary Club of Dundee on Thursday 19th April 2007. The occasion was the celebration of Lovat's exactly 50 years of membership of Rotary International - all of which was spent with the Dundee club. Lovat, now a sprightly 88 year old, recalled his early introduction to Rotary and thanked the club for marking this milestone. An avid curler Lovat recalled, as a Rotarian, visiting Canada in 1976, following in the footsteps of his father who first went there as a curler 1913. Things were different then and Lovat's father had to carry his own stones around Canada during that tour. President Ian Duncan who presented the award also presented Mrs Grant with a bouquet. He congratulated Lovat saying "Behind every successful man is a surprised woman!", whereupon the flowers were produced.
