Don't be impressed.

They are written in 10 minutes. Just an expression of how I feel about Ronald Reagan is all. (And particularly how I feel about the loyalty of his loving wife, Nancy)

Yep...our Irish Lassie actually gits paid fer writin'...wouldn't that be a HOOt?!

"Nancy holds a hand,
That once signed 'red letters',
Infirmity? STRONG!"

I actually believe the Gipper's battle with Alzheimer's was God's last big assignment before he calls him home. Before it struck President Reagan, I was one of those dolts who thought forgetfulness was a natural side-effect of getting old and really hadn't heard much about the disease at all. After Dutch got it, I looked into it more, I donated money for research, and I think we are moving closer to a cure. I'm sure other educational efforts got out the word to folks, too, but I wonder how many Americans--due to Reagan's coming down with the disease--have a greater awareness of--and empathy fer--sufferers of this horrific disease that steals yer memories?! I really miss Reagan, though...I was soooo PROUD to call him my Leader.
