For me, I have always regarded Winston Churchill as the man of the 20th Century. Reagan was close, but I think Churchill was called on in a tighter spot.

I can see you regard him well, from you Freep Handle...:)

I was going on a road trip a few years back, no destination, no itinerary, and was driving through Missouri (on my way from Kentucky to Nebraska...I was originally going to go to the Four Corners Monument, but just didn't have enough time, so one night having dinner in Louisville, KY, realized I had to choose another destination and blindly put my finger down on a map and chose...Nebraska! Never BEEN to Nebraska!

So, after dinner, I got in my car and drove northwest. I wanted to see the great arch. I got there around 1 AM, IIRC, and thought "Dang. I thought it was a lot bigger than that! (I had been warned not to stop there after hours or get out of my car, so...I kept driving and found a motel on the other side of St. Louis.

Next morning I continued my drive, and as I drove down the highway, I saw a sign: "The National Churchill Museum"!!!!

Well, I spent half my day there, being as big a fan of him as I am! They had a lot of his paintings there, and my wife was very much into painting at that time, so...I knew she would be interested.

Loved the Churchill movie with Gary Oldman. I thought you might find this entertaining:

Churchill (Gary Oldman) dances to James Brown "Get up offa that thing!"
