Previous Exchange Student visits Fulton Noon Rotary

Write a comment

The Fulton Noon Rotary Club was surprised with a visit from Tryggvi Jonsson (TJ), an exchange student from Iceland.

TJ, as most knew him, was a Rotary Exchange student during the 1984-1985 school year.

He and his wife, Elva, were here for the G Ray Bodley 40th class reunion.

TJ updated the members on what’s been happening in his life for the last 40 years. He married, has three children and a grandchild. His career was in structural engineering, owned his own company and recently sold it. TJ credited the experience he had as a Rotary exchange student for much of his success and has been a member of his local Rotary club for several years.

He and his family have been to the states 6 times since graduating in 1985.

Fulton Noon Rotary meets at 12:00 noon on the first three Thursdays of the month at the Tavern on the Lock in Fulton.
