Page 7 - 1995 Plymouth Rotary Annual Report

President Ed Schulz joined the Rotary Club of Plymouth in 1978.
Past president, Don Sutherland (Ed's senior partner at the time),
proposed him for membership with a classification of CPA -Taxes.
He has attended Rotary perf ectly for more than ten years.

Coming of age in nearby Livonia, Ed graduated from the original
Bentley High School. "Bulldog" Schulz no doubt recalls vividly his
years of rivalry with the nearby Plymouth "Rocks." Following high
school, our new president earned degrees from both Schoolcraft
· College and Eastern Michigan University, whereupon he
commenced his career in accounting.

As a partner since 1970 in the public accounting firm of Sutherland
& Yoe, Ed is a practicing certified public accountant active in a
variety of professional endeavors and currently serves as vice
chairman of the Accounting and Auditing Committee of the
Michigan Association of CPA's. His client list reads like a who's
who of Plymouth.

Twenty-six years ago, Ed's high school sweetheart, Diane, accepted
his marriage proposal; and, along with their son, Paul, they keep
house together in Plymouth Township. Ed enjoys travel, skiing,
sailing, and stamp collecting, all of which he squeezes in between
his Rotary commitments and business activities. On at least a
couple of occasions he has combined travel with sailing. He and a
few other Rotarians have helped crew sloops in such exotic far off
locales as the Caribbean.

Ed has chaired various committees within the Club, including the
BBQ Committee, and he served a term as Foundation President as
well. In 1984, Bill Morrison, Jr, introduced Ed into the world of
service to our Rotary District 6400. Since then, Ed has served as
the District Governor's area representative and as the district
treasurer. He has completed his tenth year on the District Fund
Committee and served again as district treasurer under Governor
Fred Sorrell.
