Dinner the next morning i would have my last class at harvard and reading this article for my course on the British Empire was my last assignment. In it, he described his childhood realization that he was growing up in an era of an ending, that his was a generation that hung by its finger ends on the coat tail of the British Empire. The upon yant words resinated deeply that night as i reflected on the end of my journey at harvard. More importantly, across the bridge from childhood to adulthood. And there in the middle of the library i began to cry. I finally met in person last year at the church hill Center Leadership awards dinner in new york. Since then hes rescued me on two particularly frustrated spreadsheet sfiled days with chilling conversations for which im most grateful. And fortunate to know him not only as a world class scholar, but also as a tremendous listener, adviser and wisdom. So david is the dodge professor of history at Princeton University having previously taught at
Afternoon nap. I dont think he was drunk. I have to say that that advice on Alcohol Consumption may be the most encouraging thing ive heard for a very long time. Lets go to the gentleman at the book of the room now. I would like to start by saying how much i appreciate the canadians arrival in england in 1940. The First Canadian division arrived and they were virtually the only group or troops we had to protect us. I also appreciated them because i can remember them with our feet up on our fender in our kitchen. Giving me lollipops and american comics, including little orphan annie. The question i would like to ask is that at the end of the war i believe the canadians forgive britain debt. I would like to ask, if you know, how much that was in financial terms. Im not sure exactly here. Okay. Im not sure exactly how much they gave. The total amount that canada gave to britain and to join the war was 3. 2 billion. That was used for manufacturers and food stuffs and machinery and military

Wonderful long trip around the country staying with the incredible place now at state park in california in 1942, jumping ahead and ill come back, he took that round trip on the boeing 3 14. Only in 1943 did he come twice in the same year. I am convinced that this had to do with me. I was hatched in this town as jim said, in april of 43, sir winston came to check me in may and came back in august to make sure i was still here and all is well. Sadly, i dont remember these, i wish i did. I was living up in Cleveland Park just a few miles from the white house. I want to talk next about some of the reviews about visits to congress and visits to parliament, specifically. On three of his trips he addressed a joint session, when addressing one is unusual. Weve already heard about that first one where he made the very may fous statement if his father had been american and his mother, british, as he said. I feel i might have got here on my own, and the congressman enjoyed that and remembered hi
