Last week, Warren Whitted, Jr., Past President, and Rotarian for 40 years introduced his son Warren Whitted III. Here's Warren's introduction of his son:
"It isn’t often we have the opportunity to talk about our kids.
Today I have that chance. I don’t suppose that with the exception of his mother there is anyone more qualified to tell you about him than I am..
I know it’s hard to believe given my youth, but Warren is 41 years old. He has been married to a lovely lady named Chris who works for Ken Cowen at the Buffet Cancer Center, for about 3 ½ years.
Warren (nickname Ren) was born in Omaha. He attended grade school in the Hastings Catholic Schools and District 66. He went to Westside High School where he was a Lincoln Journal Super State and OWH All-State football player. He was also a member of the Westside ATSC. He attended UNO on a football scholarship graduating with a degree in history.
He has worked in a variety of jobs. He has managed restaurants, run logistics for Avenue Scholars and is currently employed by Mutual of Omaha.
In addition to his wife, his passions are his 2 rescue dogs, singing (a member of Sing Omaha, church choirs and is a wedding singer), the Huskers, the Chicago Cubs and most importantly the Chicago Bears. Who finally have something to cheer about.
Ren is a person who loves life and lives it with a passion. He is a hard worker, a willing volunteer, loyal friend, and a creative thinker. He is an average lawn mower.
I have been a member of Rotary for 40 years and today I take a great deal of pride in Ren’s interest and enthusiasm in becoming a Rotarian. Give him a Rotary job and I assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
Please welcome the newest Member of The Rotary Club of Omaha West - my son and namesake, Warren Whitted III."
Please be sure to introduce yourself and welcome Warren to Omaha West Rotary at our Friday meeting.
