Bennett inducted as Churchill Fellow
Staff Report//May 7, 2019//
Attorney James F. Bennett, a partner with Dowd Bennett in St. Louis, was one of 11 new members to be inducted into the Association of Churchill Fellows during a ceremony May 5 at America’s National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton.
The Association of Churchill Fellows is an honorary society of more than 300 men and women dedicated to the development of America’s National Churchill Museum, which commemorates the life of former British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill.
The museum commemorates Churchill’s historic “Sinews of Peace” speech, delivered on March 5, 1946, at Westminster College. Churchill’s remarks — often called the “Iron Curtain” speech — addressed the fracturing relationship between post-World War II superpowers and marked the beginning of the Cold War between the Allied nations and the then-Soviet Union.
In addition to Bennett, other Missouri inductees include Brock Ayers, first vice president-investments with Wells Fargo Advisors; and Ken Murer, founder and CEO of Automotive Product Consultants.
