Theodore Roosevelt is alive and well, and has plenty to say about his time in the White House...and those who aspire to become one of his successors.
 
The 26th President of the United States spoke to the Sycamore Rotary Club at its September 23rd meeting; he recounted his personal struggle to overcome poor health as a child, and his effort to use both his body and intelligence to serve his country and his fellow man to the best of his ability.  He was a firm believer in giving opportunities to those willing to work for those opportunities, and in putting what the country needed above what politicians need.
 
Joe Wiegand has been traveling the country for years, devoting himself to educating the public and students across America about what President Roosevelt meant to his country during his time...and the lessons elected officials can learn from him today.  He and his wife Jenny, a former Sycamore Rotarian, now live in San Diego -- but still think of their Midwest home often.
