===Divorce=== It was not generally known at the time, but in the Spring of 1933 Curtis, Anna, FDR and FDR's lawyer Harry Hooker had come to an arrangement for Curtis and Anna to seperate, but Curtis would enjoy the right to have Sisty and Buz stay with him on certain holidays and during the Summer. (''F.D.R.'', p 127) Part of their time was spent on "Wilmot Island" on Plum Lake in northern Wisconsin owned by the parents of his close friend Willis Wilmot. <table><tr><td>Finally, on 31 Jan 1934, the ''New York Times'' reports "Dalls in Seperate Homes". Curtis' address was given in North Tarrytown, while Anna's was variously given as the New York City address or the White House. Blanche Wiesen Cook relates that during a trip with the members of the family, one of the reporters who came along was the ''Chicago Tribune's'' John Boettiger, with whom Anna had fallen in love. Anna went in June to establish residence in Nevada so she could get a quick divorce there where her brother Elliott had divorced his first wife shortly before. Because of all the publicity that was stirred up around this, a rather long article appeared about Anna in the [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=40300644&firstvisit=true&src=search¤tResult=27 ''Syracuse Herald'', 19 Jul 1934, page 15], discussing points of her biography with emphasis on her personality and upbringing.</td><td>http://lts.brandeis.edu/research/archives-speccoll/findingguides/special/vechten/images/folder4/annarooseveltboettiger4-9-19354-25.jpg Anna (Roosevelt) Dall</td></tr></table> The divorce on the grounds of "mental cruelty" was not contested. "Mrs. Dall was divorced from her first husband, Curtis B. Dall, July 30, at Minden, [[Nevada|Nev]]." (Syracuse Herald, Jan 18, 1935, p 11) Anna was awarded custody of the children, but the financial details and custodial arrangements were kept private. Just after the divorce, the children spent two weeks with their father.
