YESTERDAY's heritage was born in blood-stained uniforms of blue and gray, with gunpowder smoke from muskets, and animals hooked to plow. From Southern plantations and Midwestern log cabins came statesmen and champions for liberty, lawyers, and educators. They wore austere black and ruffled white, they wore buckskin breeches, they were reconstructionistsg they were trailblazersg they were pilgrims. Stalwart men, with patriotic-sounding names, drew documents, defended their homesteads, and went West in search of a dream. TODAY,s legacy was indeed created in silvery space suits, with industrial smoke from monstrous steel stacks, and, unknown injections into laboratory animals. The Von Brauns, the Ruths, the Kennedys, Glenns and Salks-faces in a brave new world, explored the unexplorable, accomplished the impossible, imagined the unthinkable. Armed with laser beams, intelligence unsurpassed, the test tube, and more exchanging monetary units than ever before, they stormed the horizon, easing man's physical burdens, shortening the work week, and closing the communications gap. Still, dreams were dreamed. TOMORROW's inheritance, however, must of necessity be conceived on our knees, silently and reverently, with gratitude for all we have been given, with humility for our imperfections, and with the assurance only inner peace can give. Life again will be reduced to the basics, simple folk performing simple deeds, receiving help from above. I thank God every day for the opportunity He has given me to be a heritage-maker.
