Votes:0 A Biography: Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham was born in Chicago, Illinois, on October 26, 1947. The daughter of Dorothy Rodham and the late Hugh Rodham, she and her two younger brothers, Hugh and Tony, grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, as part of a close-knit family. Here, she is pictured with her father Hugh, her mother Dorothy, and brother Hugh, Jr. Throughout her childhood, the foundations of her lasting commitment to family, work, and service were established. It is this commitment and the belief that we "all have an obligation to give something of ourselves to our community," that has helped to shape her role and actions as our nation's First Lady. As a young student, Hillary organized food drives, served in student government, and was a member of the National Honor Society. She Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Remarks Of Rosalynn Carter, Honorary Chair of Last Acts by Rosalynn Carter Former First Lady of the United States February 13, 1997 Thank you, Dr. Schroeder. As many of you may know, I have a long-standing interest in the subject of caregiving, an interest that is deeply personal and goes far beyond intellectual curiosity. Caregiving has been a familiar part of my life since I was 12 years old when I helped my mother take care of my very sick father. Eleven months after he died, my grandmother died suddenly and my grandfather was left alone. My family hardly had a chance to come up for air when we realized that we had no choice--we had to find the strength to help my grandfather. Over time, I became aware of the importance of caregiving and tried to learn as much as I could so that I could Read More Go to Site
