It was just reported that Nancy Reagan has been interviewed, or commented to the news wires that the out pouring of sympathy and show of respect by the tens of thousands that continue to show up at the Presidential Library is unbelievable.
I'm surprised that I'd never noticed before, but I was watching something that showed some footage of Maureen Reagan, and I was amazed at how much she looked like her Mother, Jane Wyman, especially around her eyes!
So park your car at an outlying station, and take the Metro into town!
I know it's late, and I'm tired, but is it me, or was that article in the Movie Database strangely written? It was almost as though some of the lines were out of sync.
Probably. Writing skills have gone down the toilet ever since the Liberals changed the education system in this country.
Not entirely sure, to tell the truth.

For ten long years, the country had been completely separated from him. All understood why this had to be.
Not only did America not forget him, the American people missed him all the more. We know the old saying, about when there's true love, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Now that the people can finally be close to President Reagan again - if only to say goodbye - they have voted with their feet and their hearts. Nancy can know with no uncertaintly, how much everyone else love her Ronnie too.
I honestly think she may have felt that.
They are having a book signing for President Reagan at the State Capitol in Minnesota. I'm not sure which day.
They merely have to note how many "Thank You" cards they handed out, that would be easily the most accurate count. I heard 106,000 also.
It was reported that the communications director at the Library said that he was confident that the people would still be showing up by the tens of thousands, for days on end, if time would have permitted.
He had been in the room with Nancy, Ron, and Patti. They stood up to stand by the coffin after consulting with one another. Michael was not included. He finally stood up at his chair looking flustered. Escorted by the minister, Nancy, Ron, and Patti left--walking right past Michael without making eye contact or saying anything. They left separately with the minister escorting them out the door. Michael appeared to be going to leave in a different vehicle. Minutes later he came back into the room and stood at the casket alone.
It appeared that Michael was on the outside of this little family group looking in. The whole thing looked automatic as if this kind of group dynamic was fairly typical. I felt sorry for Michael.
I watched this twice on C-SPAN to see if what I thought I saw was actually the case. Very strange.
I could go for a "Million Reagan March".
