to be an inspiration to so many people, including an organization from 
my home State of Michigan. The members of the Michigan FDR Committee

the Roosevelt Memorial.

this delegation are Gerald T. Harris, Kathleen Jansen, Ken Pittaway, 
Meena Narula, Susan Purdy, Colleen Harris, Dennis Nauss, Cherie
