Perhaps a brandy as we lower it instead?Though Columbus hailed from Genoa Italy, he sailed for Spain and claimed the lands for the Spanish crown, much to the detriment of the indigenous peoples whose lands were plundered.  To me this is as sobering of a "holiday" as Memorial Day.  Honor the past, and pray that we learn from it and plan for a better future.John COn Mon, Oct 11, 2021 at 9:42 AM Jeffry Stubbs via Rotary <rotary at lists.mcn.org> wrote:All good thoughts.
