Meeting ‘the boss’
NZPA Washington The president of Lions International, (Mr Lloyd Morgan), a New Zealander, met President Carter in Washington yesterday. About the first thing Mr Carter asked Mr Morgan, who lives at Paraparaumu, was “How do you pronounce Paraparaumu?” Mr Morgan told him, and Mr Carter turned to an aide and said, “Well, I was pretty close, wasn’t I?” Mr Morgan, installed recently as the Lions’ president for 1978-79, described his meeting with Mr Carter as “very, very, interesting and exciting.”
Mr Carter, reshuffling his Cabinet and White House staff, cancelled several planned meetings yesterday but found time to meet Mr Morgan. Mr Carter was a Lions district governor in 196869 and told Mr Morgan. “When I meet the Lions’ president each year 1 feel like I’m talking to my boss." Mr Morgan said later, “I sure didn’t feel that way." Mr Morgan, who was accompanied by his wife, Ngaire, presented Mr Carter with a canoe-shaped wakahuia box carved by the Rotorua Maori Arts and Crafts Institute.
