My Aunt from Alabama. She was up here in the north visiting a few years ago, and something came up about politics or something that prompted me to say something less than glowing about Roosevelt. She took off on me, about how FDR was the greatest president ever, that his programs kept people from starving during the depression, that he saved this country, and that we should still be thanking him today that this country is what it is. My goodness, I was surprised. She had never been particularly political that I could see; she was always fun to be around, but a gracious southern lady too. I was taken aback by that attack, and stayed away from the FDR subject after that!
I had an uncle like that—Federal Civil Servant. He worshiped at the shrine too.
