Within days that Newsday reported a reduction in hours at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Oyster Bay as a direct result of the Trump administration’s firing of nearly 1,000 National Park Service employees, my office received a copy of a classic edition of the same publication
from 1962.
The main story that day was a massive late-season storm that wiped out dozens of homes on the South Shore. But what caught my eye was an article about how a congressional committee had unanimously approved legislation that would make national shrines of Sagamore
Hill and Theodore Roosevelt House in New York City.
