Dall met his future first wife Anna in Dec. 1925 at a dinner party, given by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Douglas in their home on Fifth Avenue, New York for their two daughters Elizabeth and "Kay".  Anna's parents [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] and his wife [[Eleanor Roosevelt]], would several years later become the 32nd U.S. president and the first lady.  At the time however, F.D.R. was Vice-President of the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Baltimore.  After Anna briefly attended Cornell University, and after their three-month engagement (''F.D.R.'', p. 11) they were married, each for the first time, in Hyde Park, [[New York]], on 25 June 1926.  Kay Douglas was the maid-of-honor.
