Famous quotes containing the words founding and/or clubs:

    “The responsible business men of this country put their shoulders to the wheel. It is in response to this universal demand that we are founding today, All-American Airways.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Neighboring farmers and visitors at White Sulphur drove out occasionally to watch ‘those funny Scotchmen’ with amused superiority; when one member imported clubs from Scotland, they were held for three weeks by customs officials who could not believe that any game could be played with ‘such elongated blackjacks or implements of murder.’”
    —For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
