Hillard Pouncy is an unusually well-traveled man. He was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, where his father, a former Army Tuskegee Airman, was studying for a career in chemistry. His father’s studies and job opportunities, as well as his own, took him to New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Massachusetts, England, California, the former Soviet Union, Ghana, and, finally, Pennsylvania in 1991.

Few people can say they have had their dream job. Fewer can say they have had it for forty years and retired early enough to enjoy a fulfilling life with friends, family and Rotary. Joy Charlton is a professor emerita of Swarthmore College, one of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges, and a member of the Swarthmore Rotary club since 2008. She's taken on uniquely challenging roles within both organizations and succeeded especially well in all.
