R. L. Moore was invited to show his paintings in Edinburgh Square Heritage & Cultural Centre, Caledonia.

R. L. retired from farming. He now has more time to pursue his other interests. He participates in wood carving, produces exceptionally beautiful oil paintings, sings and still finds time to visit old friends. We are always pleased when R. L. comes by.

The paintings for the book, York, Grand River ~ It's History & Directory 1834 - 1860, were provided by R. L.

Published in 1991 by The York Historical Society. Text William John Quinsey.

The Ugly American

"The state in which we find ourselves is far from hopeless. We have the material, and above all the human resources, to change our methods and to win. It is not the fault of the government or its leaders or any political party that we have acted as we have. It is the temper of the whole nation. If knowledge of the problem becomes widespread,and if the enthusiasm of the people can be aroused, then we can succeed. . .

"We have been offering the Asian nations the wrong kind of help. We have so lost sight of our own past that we are trying to sell guns and money alone, instead of remembering that it was the quest for the dignity of freedom that was responsible for our own way of life.
All over Asia we have found that the basic American ethic is revered and honored and imitated when possible. We must, while helping Asia toward self-sufficiency, show by example that America is still the America of freedom and hope and knowledge of law. If we succeed, we cannot lose the struggle."
