What an honor it was for you to work with "The Gipper!"

While he as no saint (and neither was Thomas Jefferson or James Madison), the years that he did have when he was in complete control of all his faculties were splendidly abundant with honesty, integrity, and that wonderful smile that drove away even the darkest of liberal negativity.

(If you can, it would be really something to see any personal photographs you may have of the Gipper.)

One of the best things about Ronald Reagan is that he probably had Helen Thomas pegged even better than Ari Fleischer did:

Unfortunately my scanner isn't working. I've posted the story elsewhere, but back on Halloween of '95 or '96, a group of local school kids was invited to trick or treat at the Reagan Office in Century City, as security at the Bel Air house didn't lend itself to that sort of thing, and President Reagan is very fond of kids.

My daughter was the same age, so I wangled a spot for her with the group... who showed up late. Since we were on time, she got the President to herself for 10 - 15 minutes. She was dressed up as the Evil Queen from Snow White, so I went to a grocery store the night before and found the six reddest, most flawless Rome Beauty apples (poisonous, of course), which she handed out to the President and the Secret Service, much to their amusement.
