[edit] Expanded Article and Added Photos

So towering was Theodore Roosevelt that his children, and their accomplishments, trials and tribulations have often been overlooked in the popular mind. I've expanded on the articles on Kermit as well as as "Archie" to show what unique and gifted individuals they were.SimonATL 13:42, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kermit's Fight with Depression

Added info on family history of depression that seems to be traceable to his grandmother, Martha Bulloch's side of the family. SimonATL 13:42, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problem

This page is difficult to read; there are too many pictures clumped together. I don't have the wikifu to fix it myself, so if someone could possibly do some rearranging...? 64.211.50.218roguesparks

[edit] Request for further information on circumstances of decline.

The article lacks specifics regarding his plunge into depression that I think would be of great interest.

Specifically, what were the "problems" referred to that drove him further to alcoholism upon his medical discharge? That he had dishonored his family name by not being able to complete his duties in war? After a career that reads like a success story including accomplishments achieved while still on military active duty, the reader is left to speculate.

Also, who and to what extent were these 'acquaintances' referred to as being such a negative influence on his life that FDR felt compelled enough to send him off to Alaska? This seems to be such an extreme measure of forced isolation that requires some explanation. Ydef 08:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Template:DEFAUTSORT:Roosevelt, Kermit"

I noticed that when this is categorized, it gets put under the K section instead of the R (see here). I'm guessing this has something to do with the "Template:DEFAUTSORT:Roosevelt, Kermit" link near the bottom of this page. I won't try to fix this because I don't know how, but someone who does know should. 66.234.32.20 19:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
