COMMWORLD of KC was proud to sponsor the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association's 128th Annual Meeting. The sold-out luncheon was on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, at the Downtown Marriott Hotel. The featured speaker was Keni Thomas - an Army Ranger veteran, author and award-winning Nashville recording artist. Thomas recounted his experience in the 18-hour fire fight that was told in the highly successful book and movie, Black Hawk Down. His inspiring message is one of courage and leadership which each of us can demonstrate in our lives. Here is a picture of Keni Thomas with our own veteran, Bob Bennett. Fun Phone Facts...Holiday Greetings from Mark Twain
Missouri's favorite author, Sam Clemens (better known as Mark Twain) was an early adopter of the telephone. On March 10, 1876 Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant, Mr. Watson had finally invented a working telephone which could transmit the spoken word. The Bell Telephone Company began in July, 1877 and just 6 months later, Clemens had a telephone installed in his home. In 1890, the great author was asked to write a Christmas greeting to be published in newspapers. On December 25th, that greeting which included a good-humored jab at Mr. Bell, appeared in the Boston Daily Globe. "It is my heart-warm and world-embracing Christmas hope and aspiration that all of us, the high, the low, the rich, the poor, the admired, the despised, the loved, the hated, the civilized, the savage, may eventually be gathered together in a heaven of everlasting rest and peace and bliss, except the inventor of the telephone." - MARK TWAINSome time later when he was asked about the comment on Bell, Twain was quoted as saying the following, "I had no intention of reflecting on the inventor of the telephone when I started to write. I intended to wish everyone a Happy New Year, with the exception of the Emperor of Russia ...Just then the telephone rang... and I went to the telephone and, as usual, lost my temper... I hung up the telephone in disgust and went back to my writing, and instead of the Emperor of Russia I put in the inventor of the telephone."
