NL #51, March-April 2006

Much of this issue is dedicated to the upcoming Annual Reunion in Burlington, Vermont, with descriptions of the area and the Delano relations who settled there. Included in this issue are tributes to departed cousins Ray Osborne Delano Jr., Katherine Louise Delano, Margaret Priscilla Downs Glendinning, Nancy Lyle Elam, Charles H. Delano, Claire Delano Whitmore McGill, and G. Dorothea Ellis. We happily report that photographer and cousin James Whitlow Delano has participated in another exhibition in Milan showing a collection of seventy-five black and white photographs in his first book, Empire: Impressions from China. The exhibition, from 20 October through 20 November 2005, was in Milan?s La Triennale di Milano Museum. Finally, we include a letter of thanks from the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute for our contributions to the restoration of the portrait of Catherine Robbins Lyman Delano that hangs in the FDR Library in Hyde Park and an article about the history and restoration of the Sara Delano Roosevelt House in New York City.
