That's a Winner!
Rooney's radio career blossomed when Rotarian Clyde Lear hired him to be Learfield's first sports director in the late 70's. Since then he has announced minor league baseball, Mizzou basketball, college football bowls and the NCAA Final Four, all before joining the Cardinals.
As a small town boy who has seen unimaginable professional success, he is the classic example of the American Dream. Listen below to what John had to say about his career as a sports announcer and his thoughts about the St. Louis Cardinals upcoming season.

A modern-day Thanksgiving story
Newly arrived from Wichita, Kansas, to serve as senior pastor of Jefferson City's First Presbyterian Church, Rob made the trip with the group from the Wichita area following discussions among members of the various faiths about actions taken by their international leaders. The trip included visits to sites sacred to all three faiths, as well as talks with local residents and workers in the Mideast peace movement.

Wooden you know it
Tom Holt was the Rotarian profiled at the November 22 meeting of the Jefferson City Rotary Club. An alumnus of the Missouri Department of Transportation, Tom will celebrate 50 years of adult participation in Scouting next year.
Carving neckerchief slides as part of his Scouting work launched Tom into a woodcarving hobby, which he shared with the Club by providing centerpieces for each table.
Ham it up
E.M. Burger, Philip's grandfather, built his first ham house - part of which still stands at the Burgers' facility south of California, Mo. - in 1952, and cured 1,000 hams that first year, building on a family heritage that extended back through generations. Burgers' expanded into mail-order and began curing hams year-round in the 1960s and has continued to expand over the years. Click here for more history.
Today, Burgers' sells products ranging from seafood to Missouri barbecue to game birds to desserts and all kinds of other goodies as well as its more traditional pork products. In addition to mail order via catalogs published several times a year, Burgers' markets its products on the Web and via the food-service industry, as well as to grocery stores and other outlets. And yes, you can still get Burgers' ham; the firm will cure about half a million hams of various kinds this year.
Salute!
From the Jefferson City Rotary Club, a big "thank you" to Club Member Clyde Lear for his 25-plus years of service to his community, nation and the world as a Rotary Club member.
