Anna Eleanor ROOSEVELT – First Lady

 Franklin D. ROOSEVELT – Sustained America through the Depression and WWII

 The BOGART Connection – It’s the stuff that dreams are made of.

A FINAL NOTE ABOUT DISTINGUISHED COUSINS: In my own FULKERSON-FARLEY branch from Somerset County, New Jersey, we are cousins to three of the four presidents on Mount Rushmore – Roosevelt, Washington and Jefferson – and also to President Barack Obama.
