Two local residents were recently recognized as Paul Harris Fellows by the Marquette Rotary Club through member Pryse Duerfeld. Included were Bill Brazier and Dr. William Short. Brazier, a teacher, has been involved for many years with the Marquette Sister City program with Higashiomi, Japan. His service as a planner, delegate and delegation leader has contributed greatly to the success of the program. Short is the CEO and assistant community dean for the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine – Upper Peninsula Region and a family practice physician. His service is exemplified by his lifesaving efforts in March of this year. His efforts saved the life of a cross country skier who suffered a heart attack in the Great Bear Chase Ski Race. A Paul Harris Fellow denotes a contribution to the Rotary Foundation that has as its mission to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, support of education and alleviation of poverty.
