Duke Jim Nielson’s Truisms
"I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.”
-Charles Schultz
Jim Nielson, Prime Minister in 1979, was famous for his
“truisms” which he was happy to share in each issue of the
Royal Update. Jim was knighted under the rose “Sutter’s
Gold”, pictured here.
