Sir Winston is one of my heroes & now that I’m retired I will find time to read his histories of Western Civilization. Admire his personal style too, he ignored his doctors’ scoldings & lived to a ripe old age (if I live another 28 years I’ll equal his record).
Didn’t know `Winnie’ was an aficionado of the Boeing 314 Clipper; read all about that model as a kid & not one has survived. One magnificent aircraft & one magnificent man, both belong to another time when giants still walked the Earth.
Indeed, well said! The decline is steepening, but one has to believe there is yet hope.
