I hope somebody somewhere recorded the legions of people who filed into the capitol rotunda round the clock to pay their final respects to President Reagan.

It was truly the most diverse collection of people I've ever seen in my life. Even the migrant workers came out of the fields to line the motorcade route as it made its way up the hill to the final resting place for his earthly remains at the Reagan Presidential Library.

I remember Ted's visit to a farm elevator in SE Iowa when he was trying to unseat Jimmah Cahtah...
Ted was surrounded by a group of farmers when he looked down the rails and asked, “How's the service out here on the Wabash ?”

(It was as if to say that he understood farm folks were being taken advantage of by the railroad fat cats and he would do something about it when elected president.)

The question puzzled the Iowegians since it had been more than 100 years since the Wabash had served Iowa...
