Leaving Roosevelt World

I am always sad to leave Hyde Park and Roosevelt World. This year I am even sadder.

I watched again the video, which is presented at the end of the Presidential Library/Museum tour, that is written and narratived by Pres. Clinton.

The video tells the story of President Roosevelt: a President of eloquence, diplomacy, optimism, hope, courage and empathy.

So worth watching… especially in light of today.
