Order of Founders and Patriots of America
Spring Bulletin 2010
The District of Columbia Society hosted its Annual Dinner at the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC, on November 6, 2009. As in past years, this coincided with a meeting of the Order’s Executive Committee. Joining the District of Columbia Associates were Governor General John Bourne (OH) and Mrs. Bourne and Secretary General Dr. Thomas Leland (SC). Governor General Bourne swore in two of the Society’s four new members for 2009.
District of Columbia Society Governor Donald N. Lamson, Esq. recognized Associates attending who currently are serving as heads of other hereditary societies, including Nicholas Donnell Ward, Esq., National Society of Americans of Royal Descent; J. Michael Phelps, Esq., President General, Presidential Families of America; The Rev. Barry C. Howard, Order of Descendants of Colonial Cavaliers; and Timothy C. Finton, Esq., President, Dutch Colonial Society.
District of Columbia Annual Dinner at the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC.
The guest of honor was Thomas E. Crocker, Esq., author of the recently released book entitled “Braddock’s March.” Mr. Crocker gave an outstanding talk on how the defeat of General Braddock in the French and Indian War set the stage for the American victory in the Revolutionary War. The fact that the ill-fated march began in the Washington, DC area gave a feeling of immediacy to the talk by this consummate storyteller. The District of Columbia Society will be holding its annual spring luncheon on March 20, 2010 at the Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
