BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:
"Around Warm Springs, Georgia, folks remember a less political, more human side of Franklin Roosevelt. Here was a
hopelessly crippled man who succeeded to our country's highest office. He became the 'spirit of Warm Springs;' an
inspiration to his fellow 'polios.' He was born into wealth but became a shrewd politician who could see a man's worth
beyond wealth, social standing, and education... for Franklin Roosevelt was also the poor man's friend." Thus reads the
cover notation on the video, "Franklin Roosevelt: Poor Man's Friend" produced by G.A.B. Productions, 1995.
