2. Marguerite 'Missy' LeHand, she was certainly an important figure

in FDR's life and work aiding him on a daily basis esp. during the critical New Deal years until she had the stroke in 1941. The book sounds very interesting, thanks. The Roosevelts had busy, complex lives and their importance to the nation's business is foremost to me. Lucky for us and America their tremendous efforts and abilities helped lead us through some of the darkest times in our history.
