Monday June 13

By 10:15 and I had walked the grounds; met with Park Rangers as they raised the flags at Springwood; agreed to do afternoon tours; met with Cliff (Program Director) who said Docent service was now open; agreed to serve as a moderator ( with Cliff) on Saturday at the FDR Reading Festival (15 authors). Whew.

On Saturday, June 18, 2022, from 9:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum will host the 18th annual Roosevelt Reading Festival. The day-long program will highlight the recently published work of fifteen authors — including a special afternoon presentation with Ambassador David McKean, author of Watching Darkness Fall: FDR, His Ambassadors, and the Rise of Adolf Hitler.

Spent several hours as a Docent in FDR Library/Museum. The new Special Exhibit, FDR’s Final Campaign, is very moving. More photos from the exhibit to follow in a future blog.

Afternoon break. Sitting outside the Library, using Roosevelt-Library wifi to start writing this blog….Sunny, warm, breezy..heavenly.
