If you were to walk into the Camdenton McDonald’s on any given day between 7:30 and 9 a.m., chances are you will see a group of locals sitting at a round table laughing, sharing stories and relishing on the latest gossip. The obvious leader of the pack is no other than 93-year-old Grant Richards. Stories are Richards’ specialty.

As a Past District Governor I was selected to serve and PDG Jim McCloud is my alternate should I not be able to attend.
