A MORE MEMORABLE PRESIDENT (1945)

franklin delano roosevelt died 4/12/45 serving during four presidential terms from march 1933 - the great depression - to april 1945 - the end of the german backed wwii.

i was on bryant ave. that afternoon when another kid, scully - one of the poorest of the poor - came running down the street gleefully yelling, "he's finally dead". it was an amazing thing that this kid whose family was probably one of the few who appeared to need some socialized benefits would be so nasty. probably a grandfather to many current republicans.
