| February Monthly Meeting A Declaration of Independence February 19, 2010 The Sacramento Chapter hosted its second general membership meeting of the 2010 calendar year at the Buggy Whip Restauraunt on February 19, 2010. We recognized four new Life Members: Clair Allen, Vince Gantt, Jeff Goodwin and Don Lilttlefield. We inducted and welcomed four new members to the Sacramento Chapter: John Vawter, Jeff Herbert and his sons Jeremy and Nikolas. We mourned the passing of our fellow Compatriot Forrest Clark Hewitt. Donald Wilson, Consultant to the California State Senate Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, was our sapeaker and he presented exerpts from his Masters Thesis on the Declaration of Independence. The early background of the founding documents was primarily written by English writers in New England who had a very limited view of anything beyond their local borders. The Scotch-Irish and Welsh who were actually involved in the deeds during the Revolution didn't write about it, and thus much of the "historical background" was written following the Civil War in the romantic fashion of the time.
