In 2008, a loan officer in Spokane, Washington garnered international attention after helping a mama mallard and her ducklings down from a ledge outside his office building. Richard Repp, a lawyer and local Rotarian, concocted a plan that would not only preserve the story but promote childhood literacy and honor his mother. The result: a children's book called The Downtown Ducks. Rotary (https://www.rotary.org/en/rotary-magazine) magazine senior editor Geoff Johnson sits down with Rick to discuss the stories behind the book.
