I've  heard this story repeated many times. It could be urban legend but I 
think  it's true.
Back in 1938 or 39 the Nazis over run Austria, then Poland, then  France. 
England,
who had a mutual defense treaty with France declares  war. Until Dec. 7, 1941 
this
little Island nation was the only nation  to stand against them. After the 
war, Winston Churchill,
the Prime  Minister of England was invited to an Ivy League School (I think 
it was  Princeton) &
give the Keynote Speech at graduation. There were speakers  before Churchill 
& the gentleman
just before him was a learned  scholar, & gave a 2 hour speech about the  
political/religious/economic
effect WW II will have on the world. He  finished his speech & sat down to 
polite applause.

Churchill  stood up gazed at the crowd for about 1 to 2 minutes, & said in a  
stern voice............

NEVER GIVE UP! ......... NEVER GIVE UP!  
................................................. NEVER GIVE  UP!

Then he turned around & sat down to a 5 minuet standing  ovation.




Please remember there is no rehearsal on  Wed.
Right now as I type this Bill & Maureen Connelly are in Anaheim at  The Red 
Sox game.

IT'S HARD ENOUGH GETTING RED SOX TICKETS HERE!  WHAT ! DO YOU
ALMOST HAVE TO DIE TO GET INTO A GAME?
