     We tend to remember President Franklin and First Lady Eleanor, and why not as they were in those positions longer than any other couple. But sometimes forgotten are the two young people who met and fell in love and the years of triumphs and tragedies that led up to 1932 and shaped their personalities and their relationship. We focus more on this private side and how that affected their public lives.

As Eleanor Roosevelt herself wrote:

Men and women who live together through long years come to know one another's failings, but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves.


The Roaring 20s

     With nervous breakdowns, illicit love affairs, an illegitimate child,and a record in the Senate of missing 1/3 of the roll call votes, the past of Warren Harding doesn't seem to be the right mix to create one of the largest landslides in American history 61% to 35%. But Warren had a strong woman behind him in Flossie and was loved by the American public. He worked so very hard to be a good President and in his two years in office had several major successes. His stature didn't fall until after his death and many scandals.

       "Silent Cal" might be Mr. Coolidge’s nickname, but, although he was reticent to speak, he was full of humor, witticism, and had a meteoric political life brought about by hard work. The fact that his wife, Grace, once in Washington, allowed her effervescent personality shine through to the American people also helped Cal--this despite having to experience one of the saddest tragedies to occur to any Presidential couple.
