Jeff, that was a wonderful story and I'm glad you posted it....a very special memory.....well, two actually.

She was just special person in her times. I think that while we often make the wealthy the butt of jokes and the women even worse, the truth is much different. I wonder if Eleanor Roosevelt was any inspiration to her as well as her own mother? I've noticed that Caroline has often spoken well of her and as a sort of hero.....and in later years here, Caroline has shown much of the same spirit of community involvement that Eunice did. It would be nice to think that perhaps a few young people would look at her life and say, "I want to be like that!"

Just rambling I guess.............But it would please the hell out of me that when the next "Great American Women" book comes out, it will have a large chapter devoted to her.
