FDR AND THE HOWELLS

Yolande Gwin was for many years the Society Editor of the Atlanta Constitution.  In her book Yolande's Atlanta (1893), she describes her encounter with FDR when he asks after the Major (Clark Howell, Jr.) and his wife.   Miss Gwin is pictured here.


From Rosalie Howell's collection (held at the Historical Society) here is a picture autographed by FDR for her brother, Clark Howell, Sr.
