Illinois Society of
the
Order of Founders and Patriots of America
Fall 2010 Bulletin
In another of America's great wars, there was talk of the "Noble Cause." It seems to me, our beloved OFPA is such a creature, albeit of our own crafting. We in Illinois do indeed "persevere" in that cause, as we hold steadfastly to our heritage, which may well be our hope for a more perfect and settled future.
I regret there is no great news to announce nor events to tell within the Illinois Society. But we continue to expand our networking, and present our Society to its kindred organizations. This we do proudly, knowing that we are indeed supporting our cause and our future.
The last General Court at Charleston was memorable for many reasons to this writer. Some of those reasons are best left unprinted. Let it suffice to say that in the end, it appears to have been an overwhelming success upon many levels, where honor and graciousness presided in an otherwise troubled world. We owe a great deal of this to our new Governor General, Tommy Leland, whom I am proud to call "a friend".
