I hope it will help to give Nancy and the rest of the Reagan family some measure of comfort, in their time of grief, to know that president Reagan is so loved by the people of our nation.
After being alone with him for ten years, out of the public spotlight, slowly, quietly watching him go down hill, I tend to feel that she may have thought that most American's just forgot and just went about their lives. This has got to make her feel extremely proud.
This is so great. It's a fitting tribute to a great man. Personally, I was surprised by the turn out too, considering this is lefty California.
Remember, the man was governor of California for two terms here. His supporters here are many and go *way* back.
