3/19/26 Rotary Off the Cuff: Karen Mobley & Rod Price
What’s one food you could eat every day?
Karen: Green chili enchiladas.
Rod: Steak, I like a good New York strip.
What’s your favorite springtime activity?
Rod: Usually, it’s trying to get up to the top of Mount Hood in February, March-ish time. It’s usually getting out and hitting the trails on mountains.
Karen: Digging in my garden.
Describe yourself in one word.
Karen: Vocation
Rod: Teenager
What’s an accomplishment you’re most proud of?
Rod: 40 years of marriage to the same wonderful, patient, kind, and understanding woman.
Karen: That I finished 4 books of poetry and got them all published, and one of them took me 10 years of submission time.
When did you join Rotary, and who/what inspired you to join?
Karen: My actual date of joining Rotary is 1993, when I joined the Casper, Wyoming Club, but I was a Rotary Exchange Student in 1979 sponsored by the Rotary Club of Laramie, Wyoming. What inspired me to join Rotary is that this is the best way to make friends all over the world.
Rod: 2016 – 10 years. Mike Church told me I had to join because I wanted to bring our youth program here, and he says, “You can do it, but you gotta join.” I think Clark Brekke was in on that, too. Really, what’s kept me here is you all.
