Following from Jefferson City web site: "The Churchill entourage was on its way to Fulton, Missouri, a small town northeast of Jefferson City, where later that day the former Prime Minister of Great Britain delivered a speech to thousands gathered at Westminster College. For citizens of Jefferson City, March 5, 1946 is an historic day--the day Sir Winston Churchill visited our city. But for citizens of the world, March 5, 1946 will be remembered for something else. Tensions were growing between East and West. The Soviet Union was solidifying its hold on eastern Europe; and for the first time that afternoon, Sir Winston Churchill used a phrase which had a "ring of truth" to millions in the democratic West. He warned that the Soviets were causing an "Iron Curtain" to descend across Europe. Some historians say that the "Cold War" began that day." ----- Original Message ----- From: <VivianJ8169@aol.com> To: <kansascity@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 5:46 PM Subject: Re: [KANSASCITY] Miss Betsy GOSLIN & William WOOD - Kansas City,MO - Novembe... > > In a message dated 1/3/2009 5:17:57 P.M.
