Bernard Sullivan, Toastmaster, Autographs
Autographs from a large collection (c500 +) that were personally obtained by Mr Bernard Sullivan (Apr 1920 – Feb 2017), renowned Senior Toastmaster for the Society of London Toastmasters.
Over his long distinguished career, he worked with many people from around the world including Royalty, Heads of States, Archbishops, HM Judges, Stars of Stage and Screen , Politicians and Sportsmen, many becoming like old friends. During his 58 years as a Toastmaster, he gradually built up a large, impressive collection of autographs, which were all personally collected by him. He cherished them and proudly showed them off to friends and family
Sullivan would use whatever was available to hand, usually while working, to get his autograph. This may be a menu, a business card, a scrap from his notes, a page from a programme, a ticket to the event, etc.
