Well ... What can I say about Ronald Reagan. I remember the jelly beans. Genesis' Land of Confusion video. My third-grade teacher saying she wouldn't vote for him because if he won again she'd be eating dog food. There was Nancy Reagan on Diff'rent Strokes.
I think a president deserves the respect and treatment Reagan has gotten this week. But I don't think we should gloss over the problems of the 80s and glorify his term in office either.
I can't remember where I got this postcard. I have a few presidential ones.
(Random fact: Marilyn Monroe and I have the same birthday.)
Just a post note.... I thought the final ceremony tonight was very sad. When Nancy started crying on the casket, I think all of us in the newsroom got a bit teary.
