Alot of dignataries are now showing up to pay respects. McCain, Guiliani, Gorby, Karzai, etc.
Cspan has live coverage. Bush expected at 7 but could be earlier? He is then going to visit with Mrs. Reagan.
Guard changes about every half hour at .28 and .58 of the hour. One is going on right now.

Reminds me of my Mom, also. Even down to the expression on her face. Mother loved Nancy Reagan.

I've wondered the same....whether the President would bring others....i.e. Nancy, again....or daughters?

They had been saying 5000/hr. However, that was before they doubled the paths in the rotunda. Maybe they did that to get as many through that wanted to pay their respects as possible.I heard on the radio that they're expecting almost a quarter of a million people to come through the rotunda during the time President Reagan is lying in state. Amazing.

Has Jimmie Carter or G Ford come by? Just wondering. And did LBJ have this many come to his funeral, I can't remember it but JFK's was like this only more grief, he was so young.

I'm enjoying C-Span. Just the quiet respect for our great President. Impressive. The lines have stopped. I assume President and Mrs. Bush will be there shortly. Go with C-Span.
