has recently begun organizing health education programs (through Rotary) in Goshogawara.
Last Week: David O Stewart - Author The
Lincoln Deception
David Stewart's car was rear ended on the way
to the Rotary meeting, so Dave Fitzwilliam
talked about Stewart's first 3 books. David
Stewart is a retired lawyer that argued two
cases before the US Supreme Court in his former life. His first three books were all related
to the US Constitution. His 1st was "The Summer of 1787"and was about the Constitutional
Convention. His 2nd was about Pres. Andrew
Johnson's impeachment trial. The 3rd was
about Arron Burr's attempt to form a brake
away empire along the Mississippi River from
Ohio to New Orleans in 1805.
