Ramblings Sept 27. Campobello staff

Morning ramble across FDR property in the rising fog.

Through Rose Garden

Kordes Perfecta ..pink-yellow hybrid tea

To Gingerbread  house for daily meeting and chat with Rangers

Next met 3 ladies who work at Campobello. They are here til Saturday. Asked me to come to Campo next summer and volunteer and they would put me up. Gave me their card and how to contact

Hmmmm?

Roosevelt “Cottage” at Campobello Island. New Brunswick Canada.

Contact Info if I go to Camp0

I gave my 2d tour of Springwood at 1:00 this afternoon. Had about 25 folks. I made sure to get them inside the house by 1:30 so that was right on time. Good group with questions. I think I did good, got nice complements.

Springwood is the home of FDR. 35 rooms, 9 bathroom, as designed be FDR in 1915.

We start tours of Springwood at this mosaic on the Wallace Visitors Center. Henry Wallace VP during 3rd term  and before that,  Sec. of Agriculture.

I was then back up for Ranger Bob at 2:30.

As backup for 2:30 tour. View from stairs leading to 2d floor of Springwood.

Hot day. It is 90 and part of the tour involves walking in the sun. Come on Fall…like tomorrow.

Hope to meet with Archives tomorrow.
