Be the secretary of an organization

I learned early that I was not really presidential material but liked being secretary of a group. Presidents have to go to all sorts of meetings that secretaries do not have to attend. I loved taking minutes and reading them at meetings and since you read them yourself you did not have to spell correctly. My husband, Ray, liked to be president and I don't think he ever joined anything without ending up president. Once he was elected treasurer and that was not good as he never understood bookkeeping and I was the unknown treasurer. He did a better job as president. Over the years he was president of the Shawnee Mission Indian Society, the Sister City Committee of Kansas City, many PTAs (with five children you are a member of many PTAs). As president of Sister Cities, we went to Spain and Japan for Kansas City. We went to China but that was a trip offered us when the China government was taking travel agents to show them what they had to offer for customers. Other places we went like Africa and South America he was covering them for the Star and they let him bring me along. I still enjoy writing minutes but since I do not hear well it is not a career so I think I will become a famous writer instead. Now if I could just think of a plot I would be on my way.
