In this program, we begin by paying tribute to Adrian Wood, who should have been the host talking to his fellow Rotarian Alan Harris in this Hot Seat program. Adrian's untimely passing in 2025 still resonates with us, but Alan provides us with a nice homage to a good friend.

Chris Sayer then explores Alan's history - from his family history through the generations to his motivation to be a community leader with a vision for Launceston.
