Cornelius Gardener sends William Loeb a coat of arms from the Dutch town of Tholen that likely belonged to one of President Roosevelt’s ancestors. A relative gave him the image on a recent trip to Holland, and former professor Adriaan Steketee contextualized the device. Gardener wonders if Roosevelt might want to visit Tholen during his upcoming European trip.
