ROGERS John Stratford. World City Foundation mourns the loss of its beloved Chairman and Chief Executive. Mr. Rogers' concept, to harness a major capital asset (world's largest passenger ship) as a source of perpetual funding for the attainment of the Foundation's goals, reflects a growing trend among world business organizations toward assuming a more active role in creating a healthier society and a more habitable planet. World City Foundation will carry out its educational, cultural, recreational and public policy programs and activities on board the 255,000-ton vessel, America World City-The Westin Flagship, and the profits of the ship's operations will be channeled into worthwhile programs and activities throughout the country and the world, including education, environmental protection, sustainable development, corporate responsibility, international understanding, and medical research. We have had the privilege and honor to work with a man whose vision inspired us, encouraged us, taught us, and enabled us to carry on, even without him.
