Regarding Clay S. Jenkinson, what do you mean by portrayed? Did he dress and act like these people on stage? If so, please explain so in the article. Also, could you provide his birth and death dates?

I filled in everything I know. <>< tbc 00:42, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Yes, Jenkinson dresses as the character and assumes the persona of that character (Roosevelt, Jefferson, et al) on stage. He answers questions from the audience in character, playing the part of Roosevelt as if the former president had somehow traveled forward in time and was aware that he had done so.

Correct Pronunciation of Roosevelt Family Name[edit]

There has been much debate about the correct pronunciation of Roosevelt's last name, however, in several letters Theodore Roosevelt himself specifies the correct pronunciation. In a letter to the Rev. William W. Moir dated October 10, 1898 he writes:

As for my name, it is pronounced as if it was spelled "Rosavelt." That is in three syllables. The first syllable as if it was "Rose."
