SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Jonathan Sandys, the great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill and author of "God and Churchill," made a special trip to Sandy Springs last week.

Sandys visited the Rotary Club of Sandy Springs March 14 and recognized three members of the club who served in World War II.

Those three members -- Milt Kassel, Carl Pirkle and Jim Paschal -- all stood with Sandys, who expressed his gratitude for their service in a war that history recognizes may have ended quite differently had Churchill not been prime minister of Great Britain at the time.

Sandys also presented each of the veterans with a copy of his book.

The Rotary Club of Sandy Springs has a 44-year history of service both internationally and locally to the Sandy Springs community. Luncheon meetings are held most Mondays at 12:15 p.m. at the Hilton Perimeter Suites on Peachtree Dunwoody Road in Sandy Springs.

The club welcomes interested business leaders, professionals and community leaders to visit for lunch. Reservations aren’t required but may be made in advance at www.sandyspringsrotary.org.

For more information about the club, visit its website or Facebook page.
