FOCUS: Remembering the FDR Memorial and the ideas behind FDR’s life

By Catherine Brack, Washington D.C. | As a resident of our nation’s capitol for more than 18 years, I have been to the Clinton, Bush and Obama White Houses, experienced 9/11 in a way that was far too close for comfort, cheered a visit by the pope, and witnessed an earthquake, hurricanes and tornadoes. I also have shoveled more snow than I ever thought possible.
