Teddy Roosevelt is quoted as follows: "I have always said I would not have been President had it not been for my experience in North Dakota." "It was here that the romance of my life began." "I grow very fond of this place, and it certainly has a desolate, grim beauty of its own, that has a curious fascination for me." I love North Dakota and it's history. It is wonderful that we have a connection to a man who became President of the United States. A man who lead the "Roughriders" in their famous charge up San Juan Hill. A man who loved North Dakota and was appreciative of how the state impacted his life. I will be voting for Roughrider as the UND nickname.
