Report on the rededication of the Rough Rider statue of Theodore Roosevelt in Portland, Oregon, on July 15, 2000. The report details the ceremonies surrounding the unveiling of the restored statue, noting the speakers, music, and dignitaries in attendance. The report also highlights the speeches and interviews given by John A. Gable, Executive Director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association, in Portland, and it highlights the work of William D. Schaub who headed the local restoration committee. Brief biographies of Henry Waldo Coe, who donated the statue, and of its sculptor, Alexander Phimister Proctor, conclude the article.

 

Three photographs of the statue and a text box listing the donors to the restoration committee supplement the report. 

After briefly describing the origins of the term “plankowner”–a ship’s crewmember assigned to a Navy ship on the day of the ship’s commissioning–this article lists the individuals, couples, and businesses who have earned the status of “honorary plankowners” of the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt because they have made “significant contributions of funds, time, or talent.”

 

Two photographs of the Theodore Roosevelt at her commissioning, a photograph of Theodore Roosevelt on the deck of the U.S.S. Connecticut, and a political cartoon supplement the listing.

A list of trustees of the George Junior Republic Association and a list of the executive committee of the New York Woman’s Aid to the George Junior Republic Association.
