My wife asked me to look up "Jane Wyman" to see if she was still living (the answer is yes - she is 90). I thought this quote I found on one of the websites devoted to her deserved posting to a thread:

"On June 11, 2004, Jane Wyman broke decades of silence regarding her former husband, President Ronald Reagan, saying, "America has lost a great president and a great, kind and gentle man."

For any who did not know, Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan married January 26, 1940 and divorced June 28, 1948. Their daughter, Maureen Reagan, born January 4, 1941; died of malignant melanoma August 8, 2001. Their son, Michael Reagan, born March 18, 1945; adopted by Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan on March 21, 1945, spoke at the funeral (Reagan Library) and should be well known to most Freepers. A daughter, Christine Reagan, was born prematurely on June 26, 1947 and passed away nine hours later.

I was pleased and impressed that she had such kind words to say of him.
