FDR and his best friend.
This is the original statue of FDR in this memorial. He's not in
a wheelchair -- or if he is, you can't tell. |
 |
This life-sized, realistic statue of FDR in a wheelchair was added
later.
While he was president, it wasn't well known that he was in a
wheelchair... because CNN wasn't around yet!

Eleanor Roosevelt
(Mrs. FDR) |

All of the quotes in this memorial seemed to deal with facing adversity,
pulling together, and succeeding. Karen (as always) was quite choked
up. Lou had to call 911. |

Typical tourist wearing shorts despite the rain.
Hey, we're from
Seattle. We like rain.
