Robertson worked effectively with 34 state and 100 local centennial committees to create a successful result. Fifty years later, he was named a charter member of the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission.In 1963 he worked with David Mearns, director of the Library of Congress, to assist in the planning of Kennedy\'s funeral by researching the funeral of Abraham Lincoln, after which Kennedy\'s was patterned.
