PRESIDENT'S DAY

I heard a tv newscaster asking viewers to call in the name of their favorite President of the USA. My first thought was Franklin D.Roosevelt. FDR took office about a month before I was born. As I grew up. his name was in the news and in my mind from a very early age.

Roosevelt's leadership during the Great Depression, and then World War Two remains in my memory. We didn't know then how crippled he was, and how he must have suffered while carrying out his most difficult duties as a wartime president. And sadly, he died before seeing the end of the war.

FDR,RIP
