National D-Day Museum

Tweed Roosevelt briefly describes the life and career of historian Stephen E. Ambrose who died shortly before he was scheduled to appear at the annual meeting of the Theodore Roosevelt Association in October 2002. Roosevelt notes some of the many topics Ambrose studied and wrote about, and he highlights Ambrose’s generosity, especially to the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans which Ambrose founded.

A visit to Sagamore Hill National Historic Site by Governor George E. Pataki of New York and Senator John McCain of Arizona leads off this edition of the “News & Notes” section which also covers the 2002 Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) Police Award for New York City, and the opening of an exhibit, “The World of Theodore Roosevelt,” at the Nassau County Museum of Art. The section summarizes some of the material found in the front half of the issue and acknowledges the work of historians who are also members of the TRA, and it notes that the issue is dedicated to historian Stephen E. Ambrose.

 

Five photographs supplement the text, including two of McCain and one of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, and two text boxes publicize the work of the TRA.
