Mrs Doris Mack. Volunteer at Val-Kill and knew Mrs. Roosevelt personally. Doris is 95 and originally from Durham NC. We had an immediate connection. Her husband played in The Navy Band (saxophone) during WWII. In 1947, they moved to Hyde Park and he earned a Ph.D in Social Work at Bard.
She is a Treasure and can tell some stories. She goes to St. James Episcopal Church and if she wants to go next Sunday I will call and take her..
Talk about living history..a beautiful lady.
This photo taken today shows her hand with photo of herself and Mrs. Roosevelt.
