*****I sure hope he dies when Bush is in office instead of a Clinton. *****

I agree. We usually hear these reports every year or so about Reagan being near death. It was always my hope that Reagan would not pass with clinton in the white house. It would have been so wrong for someone like clinton to be presiding at a Reagan funeral.

Ronald Reagan was a great man because he made us believe in ourselves again. He made being an American something to be proud of again.

I was in vet school when Carter sent in the military to rescue the Iranian hostages - I'll never forget that day in the small animal clinic with all of us huddled around a tiny tv - how rotten we all felt at the news of the helicopter crash, the hideous failure of the mission. I remember Nightline doing the hostage count every night. And then came Reagan.

I remember the debate between he and Carter where Reagan held up a dollar bill and promised to make it worth a buck again. Inflation was horrible. Carter was a miserable leader. And then came Reagan.

He is my knight in shining armor, and always will be. I pray God takes him soon. And I thank Nancy for her devotion and steadfastness.
