Jim Davis says farewell at Tucson banquet

District 3's teddy-bear of a Governor, warm, smiling and energetic jim Davis, DTM, said his farewells and thank-you's to the Toastmasters of District 3 at the spring conference evening banquet in Tucson on May 20, 1989.

Acknowledging his debts to his fellow Toastmasters and friends, and most especially to his ever-patient and supportive wife, Debbie, Jim passed the torch to the incoming administration in a moving speech.

Jim's theme was "Toastmasters Educating Today and Tomorrow." Certainly the education Toast-masters received trom the sessions at this final conference of Jim's administration proved lust how exhilarating such education can be.

Goodbye, Jim, and welcome to the world of regular Toastmasters!
Knudson wins chief post Wilson and Bristol complete leadership trio

It was tense there for a minute or two. A challenge was issued.
Glenn Knudson, DTM, current Educational Lieutenant Governor and considered a sure thing for election to District Governor faced a dark-horse challenger.

Juris Kursulis, DTM, former District 3 Governor, was nominated from the floor by Bill Crawford, DTM, former District 3 Governor and former Inter-national Director.
Thus challenged, Knudson rose to new heights of such rhetorical eloquence that Kursulis withdrew his bid. It was all in fun, of course, but it did add a bit of drama to District 3 elections held at the Holiday Inn Broadway in Tucson on May 20.
