Quotes:

"These Roosevelt sculptures speak to you. From one angle they appear serious, from another angle they are smiling . . . it is like they are almost human. In my estimation, these are the finest sculpture images of Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt,  to be found anywhere in the world."

Senator Tarky Lombardi, Jr. - (former chairman of the new york state senate committee on the arts and cultural resources)

"These are magnificent pieces . . . I am so pleased and thankful that Carolyn's beautiful work will greet each and every visitor who comes to the Presidential Library."
