Ronald Reagan a tribute to him and Nancy. Articles / Jerry's Notes Date: Jun 06, 2004 - 04:20 PM | ||||
The Day I met President Ronald Reagan.President Ronald Reagan was one of the nicest and kindest men I have ever met. My father-in-law was running for the senate in Oregon and I was his campaign manager. President Reagan came to Eugene to debate the student body from the University of Oregon. They were a very liberal campus in the 80's. While Richard and I were at the airport to meet Reagan my father-in-law got to talking to a Secret Service Agent. As the Lord would have it we were given badges that allowed us to go to the room where President Reagan was. We showed the secret services the badges that were given to us and they let us in. To our surprise we were the only ones in the room with Ronald and Nancy Reagan. We had almost 20 minutes in the room alone with them and only one secret service agent. Oh what a great man he was. Both Nancy and President Reagan were so kind. When it was time to go and speak he walked to center court of the gymnasium. They cursed him, yelled at him and shouted to the top of their lungs. He waited for them to finish and started to talk. They had thought he was not smart. Well I want to tell you something, when they started to ask questions he answered every one of them. By the time he was finished he left with a standing ovation. Can you imagine it, he entered with curses and boo's and shouts. He left with applause and cheers. It was at that moment I knew he would be a great president. | ||||
