Rev. Joey N. Welsh: An ethics quiz and a reality check Another Angle. The occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor, is about the foundations of Rotary International. An ethics quiz and a reality check was first published 10 July 2005 in the Hart County News-Herald To see other articles by this author, enter "Rev. Joey N.
