Mrs. Margaret Truman Daniel, as has been stated, was the daughter of Harry Truman, who was one of the fighting Presidents of the United States, and his daughter, Margaret, was also a very strong young lady. As has been mentioned, she became a vocalist, had her own television show. She went to George Washington University, and in 1944, the same year her father was elected Vice President, she earned her first degree. In 1946, one year after her father was sworn in as President of the United States, Margaret graduated with her bachelors in history. At the age of 16, she became a singer, taking voice lessons from a friend in Independence, and after graduating from GW, she pursued her career as a vocalist. She was a very outstanding young lady, accomplished a great deal, and was a credit to not only her mother and father but her country. She was highly regarded. She married a gentleman from the New York Times, and they, I think, had four children and three or four grandchildren. She was a very fine lady, and I think it's appropriate we honor her today with this.
