copies were sent to each of our thirty-four members. What better way to mark
that anniversary than to issue another one on the 125th This beautiful design

decades. Covers are free to members on the covers list, but you must write to

"His crowning triumph was his stand against tyranny, but he packed
his life full from beginning to end, a shining example of how to wring the
most from our allotted span: personality, writer, soldier, statesman, he
embraced and excelled in all his many roles."
ROBERT COURTS, ENGLAND
"Bright and humane, a believer in the liberty of the individual, with a
remarkable facility for forecasting threats from tyrannies, he was a dedicated
minister, war leader, strategist and writer: enthusiastic, rarely misguided, an
influential statesman of courage and magnanimity."
GARRY D. HERBERT, MALAGA, SPAIN
"He said we must all strive to rise to the level of events; but it may be
fairer to say of him that his greatness shone brightest when events rose to the
level of his personal genius and courage."
JOHN BECKWITH, CHEVY CHASE, MD., USA
