T6 Associate in the Spotlight

Past Deputy Govemor General, Past Editor of The Bulletin, and long-time Editor of SAR Magazine, Wisconsin Associate Winston C. Williams was a very surprised recipient of a Naval Officer's Sword at the lI4th SAR Annual Congress held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in July. The "ceremony" took place 1 July 6th at the Tuesday evening banquet. I 1 A graduate ofAnnapolis, Win never received his officer's ceremonial sword because of wartime restrictions. The Sons of Liberty Chapter (CA) where Win is a dual member learned this and corrected the oversight by obtaining an appropriate WW Il-Vintage Naval Officer's Sword. With the whole-hearted support of President General Raymond G. Musgrave, it was presented, and Win received a standing ovation. Incidentally, we understand Win and the long- awaited sword were the talk of the Congress.
