In the dark days of September 1939 Poland's gold reserves (75 tons) were whisked out from under Nazi noses by a heroic English sea captain, the father of Georgetowner William Brett.  Captain Robert E. Brett (DSO, DSC, RNR), whose ship was in the Black Sea at the time, picked up the gold at Constansa, Romania and safely transported it to Instanbul, Turkey.  Captain Brett's actions and the further adventures of Poland's gold reserves will be the subjects of William Brett's presentation.
