"In 1948 Eleanor Roosevelt came to Stuttgart to speak to the German people in a gesture of friendship.  Our military governor then was Charles LaFollette.  His wife, Frances, and I were good friends.  Mrs. Roosevelt was to stay with them and Frances told me she would somehow, arrange for me to be there so that I could get some pictures."…
"...I attended Eleanore's meeting at a conference hall with about five hundred Germans.  They seemed to have great respect for this lady.  Eleanor spoke for one hour in perfect German without one error.  She was extremely well received."
