Bob Morrow spoke to the Club from the comfort of his home about a number of space related subjects such as the Canadian Space Agency, the International Space Station, Mars exploration and yes, even growing tomatoes in space. With the aid of breathtaking photography and the occasional cartoon, he became our space tour guide. The Club members also learned of the new technology, some of which is developed and owned by the private sector for delivering humans and materials to outer space.
Being a Canadian, you could not help be filled with pride when you saw the photographs of the Canada Arm doing such things as unloading a satellite from the American shuttle. Canadians have embraced space exploration with a number of men and women becoming astronauts.
Bob is a retired project manager and consultant with the Canadian Space Agency. He has also been a consultant to NASA and The Centre for Science in Space (CASIS). the man is a prolific writer of books. The number is around 120. The predominant focus of his writing is educational.
When you become a Rotarian, you realize very quickly that your fellow Rotarians are compulsive volunteers. Bob Morrow fits this profile perfectly. Of course, he is heavily involved with his Rotary club and District. He is a Canon with his church in Dundas, Ontario. Volunteers at the Ellen Osler Home which is a half-way house for just released females who have been incarcerated) and Ronald McDonald House in Hamilton, Ontario.
