Grandfather admired him so. Me too. Grandfather had a large hand in raising me, so in a sense Teddy was my honorary "grandad."
America could sure use a man like Teddy again.

Mornings, On Horseback - Teddy Roosevelt
Teddy Roosevelt was my favorite U.S. President. My grandfather Howard Conklin met him twice, once as a 10 yr old when Teddy was President, in the White House in the corridor between the White House living quarters and the Oval Office, and again in the late 1910's when Teddy was on horseback one morning and riding on Long Island where my Grandfather lived, by chance co-incidence.
