My wife and daughter spent 3 hours in line waiting to view Reagan. As luck would have it, Ann Coulter was in line just ahead of them. They didnt get to view the casket until the wee hours of the morning.
For the first time since my father died (1993), my daughters caught me shedding tears just watching the Reagan coverage on TV. There is no way I could have been seen in public in that venue even though we are less than a five hour drive from DC (under normal traffic).
