A Lecture by Joan Leckie Salvas Rutherfurd Hall Historian Join us at Rutherfurd Hall for an insightful and moving lecture by historian Joan Leckie Salvas, as she unravels one of the most poignant and little-known chapters in American history—the final days of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his lasting connection to Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd. In The Long Goodbye, Salvas explores the complex relationship between FDR and Lucy, a love that endured decades of war, politics, and personal sacrifice. Their story culminated in a quiet yet profound farewell at Warm Springs, Georgia, where Lucy was by FDR’s side in his final moments. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, this lecture will bring history to life, offering a unique glimpse into the private world of a president whose decisions shaped a nation.
