Rotarian Hugh Bradberry received his second Paul Harris award after contributing over $2,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Rotary established the recognition in 1957 to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships. The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the 1 million mark in 2006. Bradberry has been an active member of the Rotary Club of Weatherford since 1995, currently serving on the board as secretary/treasurer.
