Dear FReeper,With the passing of President Ronald Reagan, one of our country's great leaders, our nation remembers the historic accomplishments of our 40th President.  Many of us are also reminded of the impact that President Reagan's optimistic stewardship of our nation had on our lives and the lives of our families.  We have created a living memorial on our website, www.GeorgeWBush.com, where we invite you to share your thoughts and memories.  Your entries will be posted alongside many others to form an online tribute to President Reagan. Go to www.GeorgeWBush.com/Reagan/ to participate in the living memorial. Sincerely,Marc RacicotChairman
