I finally got up to the Ronald Reagan Museum today. Fantastic. No matter what your political feelings, this is really worth a visit. All I knew about him personally, if shortly after I got to California, I got a check from him for several hundred dollars rebate on state taxes I had never paid, having been in Massachusetts. Seemed like a strange sort of Conservative!
Funny enough, this message need not be OT, as 'His" Air Force One there had the exterior design by RL!. LBJ through Bush, Sr, used it. Helicopters and parade vehicles there, too.
It was interesting to learn that he fired the flight controllers to send the message to other nations that we were not to be underestimated. Reading between the lines, I think that he went into Greneda to tell other nations "Don't fuch with us."
Spent several hours there and could have had another day - or week.
You could almost sense the feeling general in all the old farts wandering about who have had the experiences of war, recession, depression, boom, bust, elation and misery that it would be great if we could dig him up and put him into the White House today!
