Duke

Tongues were still wagging about the dinner at Herbie’s where His Highness Paul – Duke of Oldenburg, Germany, was honored at dinner, hosted by philanthropist Rex Sinquefield. The dinner included a dozen distinguished guests from across the state including Canon Michael K. Wiener, David and Trisha Schlafly, Chris Poehler, Susan Barrett, Paul Shaughnessy, Ken and Mary Ann Schwartz and Jefferson Mansell.  Sinquefield is known throughout for giving a sizable share of the fortune he earned during his tenure as a fund management exec, with the same enthusiasm that he acquired it. He has contributed to and founded many charitable ventures, including the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis. He has also been a prominent figure in the media for his stances on major policy issues, including tax and education reform.  The duke is also involved in a variety of political and social activities in his native Germany.  A strong proponent of family values, the duke visited our town to give a lecture at St. Francis de Sales Oratory on “The Importance of Tradition”.
