He also curated the current exhibition "A Passion for Painting: The Art of Sir Winston Churchill aboard the Queen Mary" in Long Beach, California, which has been seen by 200,000 visitors since it opened in May. His exhibition earlier this year, "The Paintings of Sir Winston Churchill," was organized by the National Churchill Museum and on view at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis. It was hailed as "the most significant exhibition of Churchill's paintings in North America." Many ESU members attended a special branch tour of the exhibit, which Tim conducted for us. We are delighted to welcome him here again.
