Thoughts on My Inheritance
by Ted Streuli
When my father died, at age 76, he left my mother two pieces of residential real estate and whatever was in the house. The only item bequeathed directly to me was his collection of books.
There was no bank account. He was 29-years old when the Great Depression began and he didn’t trust banks.
Four years later, after a long illness, my mother passed away. The real estate had been sold to pay each of their doctor bills, hospital bills and funeral bills. Neither had life insurance, so by the time my mother died when I was 19, I inherited $165.
In case those numbers slid past the mental calculator, my father was born in 1900, a full 61 years and one week before my own appearance. He had eight siblings, an Irish Catholic mother and a stepfather he didn’t care for.
At age 12, he decided the education provided by San Francisco’s public schools was inadequate, so he got a job, enrolled in a private school and paid his own tuition.
At age 16, he had some questions of theology for the parish priest. The priest’s reply was that he should do as he was told and to stop asking so many questions.

June 2022 - Rotary Magazine
Click here to read the June 2022 issue. A great photo transcends geographic and cultural barriers. It tells a story. And it brings us closer together. This June is a time of coming together for the Rotary world, as we hosted our first in-person Rotary International Convention since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you joined us in Houston or participated via livestream, we hope this issue of Rotary magazine, featuring our annual photo awards, will help you feel connected to your fellow Rotary members.
June is also Rotary Fellowship Month, the perfect time to connect with others around the world who share your unique interests. We've prepared a flowchart to help you find one that's right for you.
In the Our Clubs section, you will meet a club whose supposed one-time project unexpectedly assumed voluminous proportions — and for 27 years has been advancing Rotary International's commitment to enhancing global literacy and spreading goodwill.
