This edition of “News and Notes” focuses on the restoration and conservation of two Theodore Roosevelt memorials: an equestrian statue of Roosevelt as a Rough Rider located in Portland, Oregon, and a conservation themed memorial in Tenafly, New Jersey. Separate articles provide background for each memorial, detailing their donors, sculptors, and the reasons why they are in need of restoration. The section also highlights the Theodore Roosevelt Association’s (TRA) annual teddy bear drive, a controversy involving a Roosevelt related question on a quiz show, and the TRA’s goal to have 2,000 members in the year 2000. Three photographs supplement the text.
