	Truman Library - Felix de Weldon Oral History Interview
		DE WELDON: Well, we had contact in the transition period, and I don't think they were not reappointed because of their objection, because they just had been on the Commission for too long, and it's important to get new blood on the Commission, which I think the President realized.
		DE WELDON: I think he will be viewed by historians as one of the greatest Presidents America ever had, who became President suddenly, unprepared for the job, and really took hold of it with great courage, determination, and in spite of all the great difficulties he showed tremendous loyalty to his friends.
		DE WELDON: The bronze of Admiral Nimitz is at the Hall of State.in Dallas, Texas, and a replica plaster is at the Naval Academy, and one is at Mahon Hall at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
