[Virginia Coningsby]

Valley Public Radio presents "An Evening With Theodore Roosevelt"

Clay Jenkinson, humanities scholar, author, and host of "The Thomas
Jefferson Hour," a nationally distributed program on public radio
presenting the character of Thomas Jefferson, will personify the 26th
President, Theodore Roosevelt.  Jenkinson will provide a first-person
historical perspective on not only the issues Roosevelt was passionate
about, but also the issues we care about today, including conservation,
leadership, American ideals, and more.

ours, and then will field questions from the audience.
