“The Steamboat Institute creates a vibrant community of people committed to human flourishing. The Tony Blankley Fellowship provides support, networking and a visibility platform that has enriched my life and career. I was privileged to work for Tony Blankley as an editorial writer for The Washington Times while he served as opinion editor. He was the epitome of class and intellect, a rare blend of civility and strength in a town too often ensconced in vitriol and division. It is an honor and joy to preserve his legacy for future generations.”
