An Evening with Curtis Roosevelt
Eldest Grandson of President Franklin D. Roosevelt - February 18
The Friends of the Dallas Public Library presented “An Evening with Curtis Roosevelt” on Thursday, February 18, 2010. Curtis Roosevelt is the eldest grandson of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His book Too Close to the Sun: Growing Up in the Shadow of My Grandparents, Franklin and Eleanor tells what life was like when he and his sister — known as "Sistie and Buzzy" to the press — spent more than a decade of their formative years in the spotlight with their famous grandparents, at the White House and at the Roosevelt family home at Hyde Park. The evening began with a wine and cheese reception followed by a presentation and book signing.
