Mr. Winchester joins outstanding individuals such as General Douglas MacArthur, Astronaut Neil Armstrong, author Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, and broadcaster Walter Cronkite in receiving the honor.

Mr. Winchester has written many notable books and articles about global events and has made a great contribution to world understanding. His new book The Atlantic, a biography of the Atlantic Ocean will be released on November 2.

The Circumnavigators Club, founded in 1902, is the only organization devoted to bringing together men and women who have circumnavigated the globe. The Club is dedicated to bringing the world together through fellowship and understanding.
