Great story Linda!

In May of 2003, The city of Santa Cruz, Cowell State Park, and Big Trees
Railroad recreated the event.  I played TR for them, and they got all
the details right!  A carriage (with black horses) carried the Mayor,
and myself into the old town area, where 100 school children were
dressed in "period" clothes and waved small American flags.  I delivered
the speech Roosevelt did, then received a walking tour of the historic
buildings of old town from the City historian.  I then gave a press
conference from the back of the train that goes to the Redwood grove.
Many dignitaries and guests then took the train to the Big Trees, where
the luncheon was recreated.  They even found an original menu, and
served a hearty steak and ranch beans, which TR was said to have greatly
enjoyed.

The day proceeded with another speech under the magnificent trees,  a
walk through the grove with the guests and children,  answering their
questions,  and posing for photographs under the Roosevelt sequoia.  I
finally gave another press conference at the 1800 year old "Giant".   I
did not, however, get a nap...   We did this (sans luncheon) on Saturday
and Sunday as well.

I was told by the engineer that tradition had it that TR asked to ride
on the engine on the way back, which the they let me do as well.  I
think I know how TR would have thrilled to have that much power behind him.

It was a grand time, and the children (and a few adults) learned a good
deal about their history!

As a child living on the streets of New York City, a young boy
named  John Brady was found by Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., the New York
City philanthropist and the father Theodore Roosevelt. Many years
later, as an adult, Brady would approach the younger Theodore
Roosevelt, then governor of New York, in 1900, at a conference in
Portland, Oregon, warmly shake his hand and tell him the following
story:

"Governor Roosevelt, the other governors have greeted you with
interest, simply as a fellow governor and a great American, but I
greet you with infinitely more interest, as the son of your father,
the first Theodore Roosevelt." When asked why by Governor Roosevelt
in what special way he had been interested in his father, Governor
Brady replied, "Your father picked me up on the streets of New York,
a waif and an orphan, and sent me to a Western family, paying for my
transportation and early care. Years passed and I was able to repay
the money which had given me my start in life, but I can never repay
what he did for me, for it was through that early care and by giving
me such a foster mother and father that I gradually rose in the
world until I greet his son as a fellow governor of a part of our
great country."

Note - Orginal Subj line was too long and NOT related to TR's FAT

On his show tonight, Stephen Colbert did a mock interview with Theodore
Roosevelt.  James Foote portrayed the 26th president and did an excellent job!
  I'm not sure if he helped with the entire skit, but it had many of the most
interesting facts about TR as part of the irreverent skit.

Kudos!

Roosevelt's revolver returning to LI
--------------------

BY BILL BLEYER
Newsday Staff Writer

June 14, 2006

Last summer, the girlfriend of a man living in the South told him about an old
stolen pistol with an engraved inscription that was hidden in her husband's
closet.

"I said 'I'd like to see that,' " said the man, whose name is Andy. "She said
'OK.' "

That conversation set in motion a series of events that will culminate today
when the revolver -- believed to be the one used by Theodore Roosevelt during
the Battle of San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War -- is returned to
Sagamore Hill National Historic Site 16 years after it was stolen from a display
case.

The FBI, which is bringing the gun from Philadelphia today, continues to
investigate.

Andy, who agreed to be interviewed if his full name and home state were not
revealed, said that after the initial discussion, "one day she brought it over.
She put it on the kitchen table and I said 'Whoa!' I recognized right away that
it was important. My dad was career military. So I've been around guns all my
life. My first thought was that 'This has to go home.' "

Andy said, "We talked about it a little bit, then she wrapped it up and took it
back home."

Meanwhile, Andy had already called Sagamore Hill and talked to Amy Verone, the
chief of cultural resources. She said the park service wanted to recover the
Model 1895 Colt revolver with an inscription saying it was salvaged from the
sunken battleship Maine and used by Roosevelt, no questions asked. While Andy
was trying to figure out how to get the gun to Cove Neck, Verone called the FBI
in September.

By then, Andy said, his girlfriend, who is still married to the alleged thief,
had given him the weapon. "It was just in a closet and she took it," he said.

Andy was contacted by the FBI art theft unit in Philadelphia and asked to
describe the gun. The next day, two agents knocked on the door. "They asked me
about the revolver and I brought it out and showed it to them," he said. "They
asked me questions about how I got it. They gave me a receipt for it and took
it."

Andy said his girlfriend's husband, who has a record of arrests for theft,
including one on Long Island, just came home with the gun 16 years ago and kept
it hidden in their house. The alleged thief knows the gun had been turned over
to the FBI and the agency is investigating him, Andy said. "He knows something
might happen but he doesn't seem to worry too much about it."

Andy said the FBI gave him a $1,000 reward several months later. He said he had
not sought any reward, but the money was welcome because he had been out of work
for a year and just started a new mechanical design job last week.

The National Park Service and Theodore Roosevelt Association are looking into
whether Andy is eligible for an $8,100 reward offered in 1990.

"I'm just happy it got back home," Andy said. "It's where it belongs."

After 16 years, Teddy Roosevelt icon found
--------------------

BY BILL BLEYER
Newsday Staff Writer

June 3, 2006

It's been 16 years since the pistol Theodore Roosevelt used during the
Spanish-American War was stolen from Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. And
now, because of a tipster with a sense of history, the revolver is coming home.

After the caller told the site's chief curator that the gun belonged at TR's
Cove Neck estate, the FBI was able to recover it in the South last fall. And
while continuing to investigate the April 1990 theft from a display case at the
Old Orchard Museum, the agency will return the .38-caliber Colt to the National
Park Service June 14.

"The theft of the weapon remains a pending investigation and we're pursuing all
leads," FBI spokeswoman Christine Monaco said Friday. "But we certainly want to
see it returned to its rightful owner."

After the park service turned the lead over to the FBI, investigators said,
agents met with the caller and retrieved the gun. The caller is not believed to
have been the thief.

The pistol, valued at $1 million by police in 1990 but considered priceless by
historians, was salvaged from the battleship Maine after it exploded and sank in
Havana Harbor in 1898. It was given to Roosevelt by his brother-in-law, Navy
Capt. William Sheffield Cowles. When the war broke out later that year,
Roosevelt helped formed a volunteer regiment, the Rough Riders, which he
ultimately led. He used the pistol in the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba, which
propelled him to the governor's office and ultimately the White House.
Historians consider TR's Rough Rider uniform and weapons the most iconic objects
at Sagamore Hill.

"It was a very special gun to him and therefore to the family and we're
delighted to have it back," said Tweed Roosevelt of Boston, a great-grandson of
Roosevelt. "I always thought it would come back. These things eventually do."

Sagamore Hill personnel have not seen the gun. But Amy Verone, the chief of
cultural resources, said that based on FBI photographs "it looks very much like
our gun, but we are going to have two experts look at it. It seems to be in good
shape." The recovered gun has the same inscription above the grips: "From the
sunken battle ship Maine" and "July 1st, 1898. San Juan. Carried and used by
Col. Theodore Roosevelt."

Sagamore Hill Superintendent Greg Marshall said "the National Park Service would
like to celebrate the fact that this cherished artifact is going to be returned
because it helps tell the story that we're trying to tell."

Verone said the tipster called the park on a Sunday and she returned the call.
Verone said he told her that after being shown the pistol by an acquaintance, he
had said, "Gee, that's Teddy Roosevelt's pistol. That should be at his home."

The park service then contacted the FBI.

The gun was taken from a display case that was slated to get an alarm, but it
had not yet been installed.

Immediately after the theft, alarms were installed in all display cases that did
not have them.

This is the second time the Rough Rider pistol has been recovered after being
stolen. In 1963, a thief grabbed it from the mansion, panicked and threw it into
the woods.

Edward Renehan, chief executive of the Theodore Roosevelt Association, said,
"Luckily nothing like this could ever happen again."

Teddy Roosevelt's gun returns
--------------------

BY BILL BLEYER
Newsday Staff Writer

June 15, 2006

Robert Wittman, senior investigator with the FBI's Art Crime Team in
Philadelphia, arrived at Sagamore Hill yesterday, removed an antique pistol from
a small nylon case and gently laid it on a table.

Philip Schreier, senior curator at the National Firearms Museum in Virginia,
donned white cotton gloves and began comparing the weapon to photographs of the
Model 1892 Colt revolver used by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American
War.

He checked engraved markings for several minutes. Everything matched. "There's
no question in my mind," he announced to a conference room full of officials: He
was holding the gun Roosevelt used during the Battle of San Juan Hill.

"For a piece of American history, it's just unsurpassed," Schreier said. "It's a
national treasure."

An hour later, on the front porch of Roosevelt's Cove Neck home, the FBI
formally returned the gun that had been stolen 16 years earlier from a display
case that had no alarm. Agents recovered the gun in Florida last September after
a person who asked for anonymity called Sagamore Hill National Historic Site and
said he had been shown the artifact by his girlfriend, whose husband was the
thief.

"This is a very special day," Sagamore Hill Superintendent Greg Marshall said.

As for possible arrests, Mark Mershon, assistant director-in-charge of the FBI's
New York office, said, "We have a number of people identified and a fairly good
understanding of what took place." He said the decision to file charges would be
up to the U.S. attorney's office.

Robert Goldman, a former U.S. attorney in Philadelphia who worked with the FBI
on the case, said, "The problem in cases like this when the theft was so long
ago is, if you find somebody with the gun, that by itself is not sufficient to
bring charges. We have to establish that the person is the thief who stole it in
1990, or when he received the weapon he knew it was stolen."

Amy Verone, Sagamore Hill's chief of cultural resources, said the pistol would
again be displayed at the site. It was pointed out that the museum was recently
rebuilt and now has a state-of-the-art security system.

Comment:
TR and Devil's Tower

---

Story:
Centennial celebration

In a state filled with spectacular geography, Devils Tower is arguably Wyoming's
most recognizable and revered natural feature. The "lofty and isolated rock," as
President Theodore Roosevelt once described it, has been the subject for a
legion of landscape artists and photographers.

The northeast Wyoming landmark is sacred to many Native Americans. It's also
high on the list of destinations for anyone who scales rocks and mountains for
entertainment.

Nothing like tagging an artifact. If that pistol did not have that tag
that says, "July 1st, 1898. San Juan. Carried and used by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt," it's unlikely it would have ever been recovered.  In fact,
when the association with the theft was lost, it would have ended up
just one more "nameless" .38 at a pawn shop.

It's About Time is all I can think when I read this week's Time
Magazine with that beautiful portrait of TR that captures so much of
his incredible intelligence and energy. Perhaps this is the beginning
of America's reconnection with TR. I told my wife that we who love
the Colonel have never lost sight, for a moment, of his place in
American and world history. For me, it's like he left office only
last year not last century.
