The
115th Congress on the Sons of the American Revolution met during
the period of July 1 through July 6, 2005 in Louisville, KY. During the
Congress, Roland Downing ('49) was elected President General of
the SAR for the 2005-2006 year.
In the color photo, Roland and his wife, Norma Wright Downing ('51),
pose in the SAR National Headquarters building in Louisville before a
copy of the famous John Trumbull painting of the signing of the Declaration
of Independence.
In the second photo, Downing receives the SAR National Chapter's most
valuable possession: George Washington's seal ring. This ritual was conducted
by the retiring President General, Henry N. McCarl.
