PDF documents produced by Paul W. Konopacki


"To the end of fostering mutual trust and understanding amongst members of our communities and to facilitate the experience and enjoyment of our common fund of inherited and created cultural values, the Guild humbly dedicates itself. It has no membership list and no by-laws, it has no patented cure for human ills, it aspires to no greater distinction than to be a part of man's struggle to become human. Various phases of the American community's history and function will be discussed in detail in coming issues of the Vanguard American. We are going to hear from many different sections of the country and, I hope, realize that our people are marvelously rich in our inheritance and in its variety of creative expression." - Holger J. Koch
