John A. Gable provides a comprehensive report on the work of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) in 1980. He details the TRA’s work to rebuild a bandstand in Oyster Bay, New York, and notes the association’s financial support of Youngs Memorial Cemetery, the adjacent Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary in Oyster Bay, and the American Museum of Natural History. Gable also reports on the association’s support of student essay and speaking contests, additions to the Theodore Roosevelt Collection at Harvard University, and the Roosevelt Genealogical Project. He notes the growth in membership and dues for the TRA, and he details the assistance the TRA has given to numerous scholars and writers and lists the publications that have emerged from their work. Gable closes by citing examples of the TRA’s support of the various historical sites associated with the life of Theodore Roosevelt.

A photograph of some of the leaders of the Theodore Roosevelt Association along with officials from the Town of Oyster Bay, New York is found on the third page of the report.
