Letter from my grandfather, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Boulder, Colo.,
April 15, 1945. In his memoir, my father noted, “Although
Leonard was a Republican, and did not agree with many of FDR's policies, he
conceded that the jaunty, confident political leader had ‘a good radio
voice.'" Leonard did participate in New Deal programs like the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, saying “If they’re going to do this, then we ought to get in
there and run it.”
