The photo of happy children at the top of this month's e-letter is intended to represent the focus the Honorable Order places on assisting children in need as grant requests are analyzed.  The importance of the children was driven home to us recently when a home for abused and troubled children reminded us of a famous quote relating to scouting.  Our records do not tell us if Forest Witcraft was a Kentucky Colonel, but if he was not, he probably should have been! We say that despite the fact that very little is known about the man. He apparently was involved in scouting and, in the October 1950 issue of Scouting Magazine, he wrote an article titled The Power of One Man. Here, in part, is how he is quoted today: "I am not a Very Important Man, as importance is commonly rated. (But) a hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different, because I was important in the life of a child."

(Note: In the original article Witcraft apparently used the word "boy" as in boy scout, rather than "child")
