I got home at around 8:30 last night after a long day’s work and there waiting in the vestibule was a package from the editor of the Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal. Inside were a dozen copies, hot off the press, of the current edition, containing my article about Ted Roosevelt and his life as a writer and editor. Ted Roosevelt’s literary story begins in 1919 when he arrived home from the Great War aboard the Mauritania and ends just prior to his rejoining the Army to fight again, this time in the Second World War. Really, however, the story is much deeper than that; so many of the clan had a literary bent and he very much fits into that aspect of the family heritage. It was long my goal to get published in the TRA Journal and I cannot express how happy I am with the experience.

Keith – you must be so happy and proud! How wonderful – is the article online somewhere? What an amazing man he was!
I was blown away by the story of his trip to South America with his son in the documentary I saw. Although I knew he must have gotten out alive, I was afraid he wouldn’t. Sounds crazy, I know. Anyway, congratulations – it is a great coup, and a lovely publication – XO, AJ
HURRAH! We can’t wait to read it!
Thanks, Margaret. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the TRA conference in a few weeks.
