The other day, when Mrs.Reagan was at a press conference with Obummer, I had an odd and unexpected reaction, I started crying. Not sobbing, but choked up, shed a few tears. I think it was the sight of seeing her all old and frail, being touched by a person who is the opposite of her departed husband. O was keeping her steady with her arm on his. This did not sit well with me.

I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard on the radio that Ronald Reagan was gone. That whole week of the state funeral was very moving. Finally, at the last televised event at the Reagan Library, when Mrs.Reagan would not leave the casket, that was it for me, I wept as if I had personally known them both. It still moves me to tears to remember their love for eachother.

Ronaldus Magnus, still my favorite president. My hero’s have always been cowboys. RIP Mr.President.

I feel the same. Have you read her book "My Turn", I know it was written long ago, but I just finished it. She is quite a lady, and in the reading, you would think you could just go to their house and have a cup of coffee, they were very down to earth.

I would also suggest the book of his love letters to Nancy. Priceless.

I was in Rockport, MA that day with my GF, it was a beautiful spring Saturday. I remember reading a blurb on Drudge about RR’s failing health the day before, so I surmised the end was near. My Mom called me and told me the news around ~6 pm. I just started weeping uncontrollably. We left and drove home. I remember WRKO had a special call-in segment that we were listening to on the ride back and I called in and told the host, I think it was Scott Allen Miller, how I felt fortunate to be living in America while RR was president.

I still feel that way - he is still the best.
