TRIVIA
In this quote about an
unnamed U.S. president,
Truman could be describing
himself. Can you identify the
subject of this quote (hint:
Truman is praising another
historical figure with a
major birthday in 2009).
He “had to make decisions
and take chances, and he
studied each situation and
made decisions that he felt
were best for the people of
the United States and for
the rest of the world, and
that’s the reason he turned
out to be a great president.”

Remarks by Clifton Truman Daniel
“Wow,
what an
event –
what a
tribute.”
“Grandpa liked a good party, and I can see that
Kansas City knows how to do it right!
“You know, we Americans like to make lists, ranking
everything from Superbowl commercials to political
bloopers, vacation getaways to presidents. So maybe
you heard that earlier this year, C-Span conducted a
poll on presidential leadership and Grandpa landed in
the top five—again—right behind Washington. It got
me thinking about Harry Truman the president.
“The presidency was thrust upon my grandfather. He
didn’t want the job, but he gave it his all, and history
has treated him well for it. Perhaps some of his success
was due to the deep humility he felt when confronted
by the duties of the office and his fears about his
possible unworthiness to hold such a powerful
position. It was not in this modest man to think that
the office should be his and he could never have
devoted his life to seeking it.
“Instead, he devoted his life to his values—I can’t
imagine leaving a more powerful, inspiring legacy than
that.”

On Thursday, April 23, 2009, the Harry S. Truman Library
Institute celebrated the 125th birthday of President Truman at
its 10th annual fundraising gala, Wild About Harry. More
than 760 attendees filled the ballroom of the Muehlebach Tower
for a program that featured best-selling author and acclaimed
political commentator Cokie Roberts. Other special guests
included Clifton Truman Daniel and Thomas Daniel (grandsons
of Harry Truman) and members of their families; Susan Ford
Bales (daughter of former President Ford); and the great-
granddaughter of former President Hoover, Margaret Hoover.
The fundraiser, led by Honorary Chairs Adele and Donald
Hall and Event Chairs Mary Shaw Branton and Page Branton
Reed, raised more than $330,000 in support of the Truman
Library’s nationally acclaimed public forums, educational
programs and museum exhibitions.
“We are thrilled with the success of Wild About Harry,”
said Honorary Chairs Adele and Donald Hall. “What an honor
to be part of the premier event celebrating the 125th birthday
of one of our nation’s great leaders, Harry S. Truman. We are
grateful to all those who made this memorable night possible,
especially our event chairs, Shawsie and Page; the outstanding
members of our steering committee; and all our good friends
who came through as new and renewing sponsors of this
worthy cause.”
The Truman Library Institute salutes the stellar volunteer
leadership, underwriters and sponsors of Wild About Harry
for their support and advocacy on behalf of President
Truman’s presidential library and legacy.

Eddie
A One-Act Play about Eddie Jacobson, Harry Truman,
and a Friendship That Changed the World
Every man has his hour. This is Eddie Jacobson’s.
In May 1948, President Truman made one of the most significant—and courageous—
foreign policy decisions in American history when he recognized the new Jewish State of
Israel just 11 minutes after independence was declared in Tel Aviv. Only two months
earlier, the President—furious over the criticism he was receiving from some prominent
Jews—refused to meet with Jewish leader Chaim Weizmann at the White House. What
transpired during the next two months changed the course of world history…and much
of the credit goes to Eddie Jacobson, who risked his lifetime friendship with the President
to influence this historic decision. Now, hear the remarkable story about a remarkable
friendship, as told by “Eddie.”
Broadway actor Marvin Starkman and playwright Bob Feinberg have drawn on the
rich archives of the Truman Library to tell the story of this historic friendship. The
Truman Library is pleased to partner with Eddie Jacobson’s home congregation—The
Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah—to present the Kansas City debut of Eddie.
In addition to the performance, we have the unique privilege of presenting Clifton Truman
Daniel, the grandson of Harry Truman, and Eddie Jacobson’s daughters, Gloria Schusterman
and Elinor Borenstine, in a question-and-answer session immediately following the play.
When: 7 p.m., Thursday, June 25, 2009
Where: The Temple, Congregation B’Nai Jehudah
Who: Starring Marvin Starkman, as “Eddie”
