Jonathan Sandys, speaker, author and great grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, dropped by the Williamson County Museum Wednesday afternoon, January 27th 2016, for a visit at the invitation of society member Bob Jackson and his family. Sandys was scheduled to speak at JA Logan College at 6 PM to promote his recently released book “God and Churchill” but managed to spend 1 and a half hours at the museum beforehand looking at Ordill ordnance plant building drawings from WWII, the military room and the old county jail cells.
Following his visit to the museum, Sandys spoke to a crowd of about 55 people at JA Logan sharing insights into the personal life of Winston Churchill. His talk was found to be entertaining, humorous and insightful. His trip to Marion was a side excursion that took him away from his United States book signing tour that currently placed him in St. Louis.
