RIP DUTCH
What a gorgeous day to pay tribute to the man who was certainly the greatest president of my short lifetime, and one of the greatest of the 20th century. Today my girlfriend and I went out to Dixon IL, site of Ronald Reagan's boyhood home. How gratifying it was to see people from all walks of life. Conversations overheard suggested that people came from as far away as Ohio and Alabama to pay their respects. The media kept a respectable distance and didn't shove a microphone into the face of every passerby.
I'm glad I got the opportunity to bid farewell to a legendary president and a humble man. Thank you, Ronald Reagan, for having the moral clarity to envision a better world and the strength to make it happen. The world is a safer place today because of you.
