I would like to see a list of the notable attendees at the Reagan memorial and funeral.
Here's just the ones I saw personally at both :
Reagan memorial, National Cathedral :
Afghan President Hamed Karzai, Iraqi Interim President Ghazi al Yawar, Prince Charles, Jordan's King Abdullah II, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev, Brian Mulroney, G.H.W. Bush and Barbara, Jimmy Carter and Rosaline, Bill Clinton and Hillary, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg and husband, Al and Tipper Gore, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, Michael Deaver, Gen. Richard Meyers, Bill Frist, Tom Daschle, Richard Cheney and Lynn, Rudy Guiliani, Ed Meese.
Reagan funeral
Mickey Rooney, Merv Griffin, Wayne Newton, Robert Loggia, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife. I read but did not see Pete Wilson, Richard Riordan, and Bo Derek were there. A lot of the actors looked familiar, but I couldn't recognize them. I thought one looked like Red Skelton, but I was reminded he died in 1997. Red went to the Nixon funeral.
Any others either spotted or heard about?
Pat Sajak, Scott Baio, Wayne Gretzky, Tom Selleck, Johnny Mathis
Wayne Newton, his wife, and his hair.
Oops-- sorry, see he's already listed. Well, his hair wasn't!
Scott Hamilton, the skater. I'm told bicyclist Lance Armstrong was there but did not see him.
Wayne & Janet Gretzky at the Library Service. The Great One came to pay respects to the Great Communicator.
Can someone explain why Scott Baio was there?
The one I could not BELIEVE was there was Norman Lear, the most amoral leftist you can imagine. Also hard to believe was Mike Wallace, as a dear friend of Nancy Reagan. Personally, I couldn't be friends with people whose values were so opposite my own, but perhaps others are better able to "compartmentalized" such things. (Remember that admiring adjective the partisan media always admired in Bill Clinton?)
I thought that was him, I had no idea he was conservative. I guess he feels bad about that whole "Joanie loves Chachi" thing.....: )
BTTT
