The Rev Cook and his brother Harry toured America last year to discuss British Rotary. Their five week journey covered 3000 miles in England and Scotland. At Kingswood Rotarians, Cook found a sign bearing his name and the Rotary motto, which turned out to be his own badge stolen at an East Providence Rotary meeting over two years ago.
