Of course Nancy liked her spiritual guide sooooo.... Does make me go hummmm though. Wonder who recommended to Reagan having the choir there.....he wasn't real swift about his choices for entertainment I understand...and Nancy not much better. Come to think of it I do believe there was controversy about the whitehouse having the choir there...hummm...may have to look at this closer.

I'd be interested in knowing who the mormons were he “surrounded” himself with and if they were his personal friends??.....because I know he surrounded himself with others who were of other faiths who were his personal friends.

Ronald Reagan truly admired the Latter-day Saints. His administration included more members of the Church than any other American president, ever.

Three of us, David Fischer, Gregory Newell and I, served on his personal White House staff. Richard Wirthlin was his chief strategist.

Ted Bell served as Secretary of Education, Angela Buchanan was Treasurer, Rex Lee was Solicitor General. His White House included Roger Porter, Brent Scowcroft, Richard Beal, Blake Parish, Jon Huntsman Jr., Dodie Borup and Rocky Kuonen, and there were many other Latter-day Saints throughout his Administration.

President Thomas S. Monson served on a Presidential Commission on Volunteerism. Others were ambassadors.

LDS senators and representatives were held in special regard, and the Tabernacle Choir was his special inaugural guest.” -Stephen M. Studdert, Special Assistant to President Reagan
