"Ches' vision has always been wide enough to comprehend the possibilities. His devotion during the score of years has made Rotary what it is. If ever one has been blessed with the capacity for singleness of purpose, it is he. Morning, noon and night; day in and day out; year in and year out --- always the same indomitable will to carry on. Be believes in the eight hour shift, but he works two of them; he believes in holidays --- one can do some many things on Saturday afternoons, Sundays, on Christmas and New Years --- so many little things that one finds difficult to reach when one's office is full of fellow workers, when there are so many callers and the telephone so frequently interrupts." Paul P. Harris, Pages 99-100 from "This Rotarian Age" 1935
