Mr. Churchill...

While listening to KUSC, this morning, I heard the dj mention that today is Winston Churchill Day in the United States. With further research I found that on this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy bestowed upon Sir Churchill (one of the U.K.'s finest prime ministers) U.S. citizenship and declared April 9th Winston Churchill Day. It is coincidence that today is the 89th anniversary for the Gaylord and Sir Churchill's favorite place to eat when staying in Los Angeles is our beloved HMS Bounty, off of our lobby. Sir Churchill would stay at the Ambassador Hotel across the street, back in the day, but would make the walk over to our side to have a meal in our home.

Two magnificent & stately characters, Sir Winston Churchill and the Gaylord.
