This edition of “News and Notes” opens with an obituary for Kermit Roosevelt, grandson of Theodore Roosevelt. The obituary highlights Kermit Roosevelt’s many years of service with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), in particular his role in the overthrow of the government of Iran in 1953. The section includes a two page advertisement from the state of New York promoting visits to the state to commemorate the centennial of Theodore Roosevelt’s governorship of New York. “News and Notes” also highlights efforts by the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) to promote estate planning by its members; it lists four books recently reviewed in the TRA Journal; and it notes that the TRA recently was awarded two grants to promote conservation and to update a guide to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. 

 

Two photographs, one of Kermit Roosevelt with two of his sons and one of Sarah Alden Derby Gannett, appear in the section.
