Hi Bob,
I really don't feel it is my place to say what is done about dead US 
Presidents' memorials, other than to make the following comment
BL> If you want a voice in the design of our great disABLED president's
BL> memorial, write the Co-Chairs of the FDR Memorial Commission:
BL> Hon. Mark Hatfield      and/or      Hon. Daniel Inouye U.S. Senate
BL> SH-711                 U.S. Senate SH-722 Washington, D.C. 20510
BL>          Washington, D.C. 20510
FDR seems to have been one of the great presidents I know anything 
about. It seems very hypocritical that a monument should continue his 
deception long after he had thought that it was necessary - during his 
time in office.
I understand he achieved highly during his time - even for an able 
bodied person.   Surely we owe it to his memory that we give him _true_
recognition of how much he really achieved, by recognising that he did 
it all despite a severe disability (that some immature people still 
have trouble dealing with)?  Surely, his great deeds don't have to be 
propped up and cheapened by yet another "perfect-President" myth?   
Its incredible that many people often don't recognise what they have in 
their hands. FDR as he was, and achieved; or something like the 
celluloid fiction of Forrest Gump, that so many people seem to want to 
believe in!
I think that it would be a wonderful opportunity for motivating _all_ 
Americans and others, to really recognise FDR the man as he really was, 
and his significant achieving role in USA history.
I don't have the time to write, but these are my thoughts on the matter. 
Surely Americans deserve not to be deceived any longer, about the man 
and his _total_ achievements during his Presidency?
regards 
Allan
