Fdr started sketching what ended up being the structure here to incorporate elinors papers. When his archivist said, do you think she will give them to you, and fdr said, you can never tell what my missus is going to do. Which i think is a true statement about Eleanor Roosevelt. How many of you are members here today . Look at that. Thank you so much. Your support makes programs like this possible. We appreciate everything you do for us. The library is a federally funded institution, but we rely on private donations to allow us to do many nonfederal programs like exhibits and things like that. Today we have with us a very special friend and guest. She spent many days here when she was working on the Eleanor Roosevelt papers for George Washington university. Which is a tremendous resource. She is now with George Mason University down in virginia. She has put together a book that looks at the advice that Eleanor Roosevelt gave. I think it is amazing how relevant so many of the questions

Roosevelts advice column, written for more than 20 years for ladies home journal and mccalls magazine. Held at the Franklin Roosevelt library and museum, this is one hour. Mr. Sparrow hello, good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the wallace center, here at the Franklin Roosevelt president ial library and museum, and happy birthday, Eleanor Roosevelt. [applause] it is one of the things we are so lucky to have eleanors papers here along with papers of Franklin Roosevelt and his administration. If you go over and look at the building, the two wings of the library are actually the Eleanor Roosevelt wings that were built in 1972.

Around the arctic ocean for years. Back then, floes grew to be so large that passages like nares strait were often blocked for months or even years at a time.

I dont know i cant get there. Im heading back to one of the most remote places in the world. The polar inuit left these lands nearly a thousand years ago, and these shores have been wild and uninhabited ever since. Today, scientists are trying to make sense of this region mainly by using data theyve collected from satellites. But how do you comprehend a frozen ocean from the sky . Well be landing 500 nautical miles from the north pole, right on the doorstep of the last ice area. a unique place where oceanographers predict the oldest and thickest sea ice can be found. Our plan is to survey the sea ice, to see for ourselves how accurate their predictions are. Pilot so, were making a pass and well look at those those big cracks going across the strip. And then, uh, well come in to land. So, uh, just brace yourself. Wahoo okay, diana, im just going to hand it down to you. A decade ago, i worked with friends in greenland to make a documentary film. What people there wanted the world to know
