If you've been in the media for a long time, chances are good you may have in your archives a lot of treasures you don't realize you have.

That was the case for Ben Cagle and Earl Freudenberg, longtime broadcasters in the Chattanooga area.

Ben and Earl were going through old boxes of cassette tapes, and stumbled upon a recording that likely hasn't been heard for almost four decades: the complete speech of former California Governor and future president, Ronald Reagan. The speech was given at Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga on May 21st, 1976.

"This particular old tape was in one of Earl Freudenberg's tape boxes for many years. It was recently converted to a CD. I was at Earls house last week going thru more old stuff & we decided to make this one public. Too important to not do so," Cagle told NewsChannel9.

Very nice - thanks for posting!

It’s not very load, but is fine with headphones.

(Don’t crank up the volume until after the commercial.)

Even in his present condition Reagan would make a better President than whoever that guy is who occupies The Oval Office between golf outings.

very cool i was a student there in 1970-1. heard ian paisley preach wo sound equipment from near the back of the church. but for this the audio is very faint. Speech themes tho are the same teachers, medicaid. he was a master of organization and administration. and a true leader.
