Born in 1939, John lived in the White House of his grandparents President Franklin Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt from the age of three to six. John subsequently grew up on Mercer Island, outside of Seattle. John discusses his family history in great depth and recounts his experiences as a child in the Roosevelt White House. He also describes his relationship with his prestigious grandparents, particularly Eleanor, with whom he traveled in Europe. He attended both Amherst and Columbia University, and went on to become a professor of psychology at Hampshire College. He discusses his four children, all of whom were living in the Pacific Northwest at the time this oral history interview was conducted.
