Floyd Hair: Rotary Club hosts one of their own for meaningful presentation

The Hair family moved to Santa Paula in 1954 and Hair, who said his experience has shown him that ?small incidents, or words overheard, are often the things that starts one in a new direction. The winds of change, imperceptible at first, begin to blow and events happen of the type to give one pause to think about the future.?Such a new direction was Hair becoming a Realtor, serving on the City Council and as President of the Chamber of Commerce and being selected Citizen of the Year in 1978.A founding member of the Santa Paula Community Fund, which oversaw the effort to retain the historic Depot, Hair told Rotarians that service to family, friends and neighbors ranks high on his list.The author of ?Middle American,? an autobiography published in 1989, Hair also writes a column regularly for the Santa Paula Times.Hair told the Rotarians, at times using poetry or quoting famous philosophers, that as he approaches his 94th birthday, appreciation of what he has accomplished - family, friends, community and business - and his deep belief in God have carried him through the decades, and will continue to carry him through the future.
