NL #45, March 2004

This issue presents the plans for the 2004 Reunion meeting, to be held in Mystic, Connecticut, June 25-27, 2004. There is a brief discussion regarding whether President Franklin Delano Roosevelt actually had polio, or whether it was instead Guillain-Barre disease. The symptoms of Roosevelt's illness, which first became apparent in 1921, more closely resembled those of Guillain-Barre, also known as acute ascending polyneuritis, a team at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston said. Also included was a story about William Adams Delano, a noted architect of the eminent architectural firm Delano and Aldrich. Various records show there were many people with the name de Lannoy or variations thereof in Leiden. Presented in this issue is a discussion of some of this information. Also presented are the results of the 2003 membership questionnaire. To view this newsletter in it is entirety, click here
