Golden Boy: Harold Armstrong Achieves 50 Years of Perfect Attendance
by Ted Streuli
On June 4, 1974, Richard Nixon was still president, although Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein published “All the President’s Men” that month, and Nixon wasn’t president much longer.
That same month, singer Alanis Morisette was born in Canada, shortstop Derek Jeter was born in New Jersey and Harold Armstrong became a member of Club 29.
He hasn’t missed a meeting since.
“He is a humble person, he is a loving person,” Rev. Jonathan Clinesmith, the pastor at St. Matthew United Methodist Church in Midwest City said in 2022. “He is a strong person, but he always uses his strength in a good way, on behalf of others.”
That might have been what Tom Denner saw in Harold, too. The gregarious Tom was an active Rotarian who traveled extensively with Harold for work and took Harold along to meetings, including a memorable visit to Club 1 in Chicago.
“He was a frontman’s frontman,” Harold said. “He gave me such a good impression of Rotary.”
That was all it took. Tom and George Brewer sponsored Harold, who quickly became an active member, then served on the board and soon became the Club 29 president.
Harold isn’t one to stand back and watch. READ MORE
