Winston Churchill

It Is Not Too Late To Register . . .
Alistair Cooke, Gov. Sununu to Address Churchill Society
20th Anniversary ICS Convention, Bretton Woods, NH, August 27-28th
There is Still Time to Register But Telephone Now: (603) 746-4433.
Alistair Cooke, best known in Britain as author of the
BBC "Letter From America" and in North America as host
of PBS Television's "Masterpiece Theatre," is keynote
speaker at The Mount Washington at Bretton Woods on
Saturday August 27th. The second of two black tie banquets,
on Sunday, will be addressed by New Hampshire
Governor John Sununu. The event is the Churchill
Society's 20th Anniversary Convention, and the 25th
Anniversary of Sir Winston's American citizenship.
At the writing (20 May), over 90 people have responded
to our mailings, which virtually "locks up" the events as a
sure think — but since only 50 rooms are being held for ICS
at discount rates, The Mount Washington is filling up fast.
If you have been holding off, or thought the deadline had
passed, think again! But do ring us right away at (603)
746-4433, weekdays 9AM-5PM for latest booking information
and assistance.
Because of the splendid location and resort nature of this
famous hotel, we have purposely kept daytime convention
activities to a minimum. The main one is a Sunday symposium,
with papers delivered by distinguished academics
on the state of Churchill Scholarship today: Dr. Raymond
Callahan of the University of Delaware ("Churchill/Retreat
From Empire"); Dr. Ted Wilson of Kansas State University
("The First Summit/Roosevelt and Churchill at Placentia
Bay"), and Dr. Maxwell P. Schoenfeld of the University of
Wisconsin ("The War Ministry of Winston S. Churchill").
This panel is chaired by Prof. Hal Elliott Wert, Dean of
Kansas City Art Institute, and will be open for floor comment
and debate as papers are presented.
On display all weekend is the Donald S. Carmichael collection
of inscribed Churchill first editions, commemorative
brass and china, and various possessions of and paintings by
Sir Winston (see also Finest Hour 52). Both formal banquets
will be preceded by receptions, and will terminate early
enough to allow you ample time to meet our guests. Entertainment
planned includes "Music of the Forties," a selec-

tion of WSC's favorite songs, and national anthems following
toasts to the President, the Queen, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand.
Prices are $109 per person per day (based on double
occupancy, $139 single) which includes full breakfasts and
dinners (banquet dinners on the weekend), and which is
offered exclusively to ICS members for any days from 26
August through 1 September. Registration: $55 per person,
to cover our guest expenses and overheads.
Queen of the White Mountains, The Mount Washington
offers a 90-year tradition of elegance and service in a
magnificent location, and a host of leisurely pursuits: golf,
horseback riding, fishing, hiking, tennis, indoor and outdoor
pools, a full children's program.
