Report on the 78th annual meeting of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) held at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. The report details the field trips, dinner, speakers, and elections that marked the weekend meeting. The report highlights the reelection of Lawrence H. Budner as President of the TRA, the address of William N. Tilchin, and the conferring of the Junior Officer Leadership Award for the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. Jesse Shapiro, winner of the TRA Public Speaking Contest for the New York City public schools, also addressed the dinner gathering. 

 

Eight photographs of some of the assembled guests, speakers, and dignitaries, including four commanders of USS Theodore Roosevelt, populate the report.
