The Honorable Louis L. Goldstein
knew everyone, and everyone knew him. He was always there to promote,
and support good causes, to help people who called upon him. He served
his state as a member of the Legislature and he has a record as State Comptroller
that is unprecedented. During World War II he served his country
as an Officer in the US Marine Corps and saw action in the South Pacific
with the 1st Marine Division.
Louis Goldstein was a graduate
of Washington College in Chesterstown, Md. and has always served his Alma
Mater well. His college held a special place in his heart throughout
his life and he served many years, until his death on the college board
of Visitors and Governors. In spite of his many busy days and heavy
demands on his time Louis found some moments for Jousting. He attended
many of our Banquets, spoke at many of our Jousting Tournaments and attended
many more just to shake hands and be with us. He also attended legislative
hearings concerning Maryland's |
|
Official State Sport and testified
on our behalf. At one particular State Championship he was scheduled
to give “The Charge To The Knights”. It was a cold rainy and windy
day in Harford County and not one local politician appeared, but the Honorable
Louis Goldstein traveled from Calvert County to Harford County, over 100
miles, delivered his address and stayed to mingle with the riders and
the small crowd. This was a shining example of vintage Louis Goldstein,
dependable, helpful, enthusiastic and a true supporter of our State Sport.

Often he attended the annual
Jousting Tournament at Christ Church just to mingle with his neighbors
and friends. During his lifetime we paid tribute to him by bestowing on
him a “Lifetime Membership” in the Maryland Jousting Tournement Association,
an honor that has been given to only three people since the founding of
the MJTA in 1950. |
The Honorable Louis L. Goldstein
our good friend and one of our greatest benefactors.
“GOD BLESS YOU ALL REAL GOOD”
