Does not surprise me. Am so grateful to learn just now from you of this TR character story. He became even more of a role model for me when a similar tragedy, as his, occurred in my 20s. Before the prevalence of grief groups and therapy, a lot of us looked to biographies of the past and to characters in literature to show us the way out of grief. If it were even possible. TR’s “escape” to the Black Hills made sense to me. That long ago month of July in Wyoming saved my life. It helped me see over the fence of catastrophic desolation that I had a future and not to give up. One of the bravest things I have ever done. I had TR and Edmund Morris’ bio of him by my side. Thanks so much, for this additional confirmation of TR’s goodness.

TR was a gentleman, as are you. He saw and understood boxing to be a sport, but not a blood sport. Therein lies the difference.

If Trump were in Roosevelt's shoes, he would have the FBI investigating the officer and the DOJ prosecuting him.
