[Oe List ...] [Oe List ...Katanga crosses

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

When JWM went to the Congo on a trip with brother, Jim
(that's the trip when he met Lumumba) he brought back
the original "Order cross". That was in early 1966, I
believe (possibly late 1965). Then, shortly
thereafter, the Order was officially established, and
as a part of the symbolizing of that event, Frank
Hilliard nailed the cross on the wall of the dining
room in our property at 3444 W. Congress Parkway.
