Sir E. D. W. Lynch took a brief pause from his art patron­age to serve the cause of global respon­si­bil­ity. He donned his jaunty United Nations peace­keeper uni­form and com­manded yet another multi­na­tional observer mis­sion on behalf of the United Nations Com­mis­sion on Cos­tumes and Hol­i­days. This time, the eyes of the world were on the May 20th Bay to Break­ers road race/public nudity bazaar.

The UN Mis­sion was with­out a doubt E. D. W. Lynch’s most bold oper­a­tion to date, with some 18 peace­keep­ers and inspec­tors rep­re­sent­ing lit­er­ally tens of mem­ber nations. And for the first time, E. D. W. proudly wore the flag of Liecht­en­stein, which may or may not be the source of his knightly title.*
