Former President Ronald Reagan Dies at 93

Ronald Reagan dead at 93. I know, I know… a Republican President. Just pointing it out as it’s the end of an era to me. I remember a lot about Reagan. He’s probably the first President I paid some attention to. I was only 12 when he was elected the first time. When he was shot even we here in Canada held our breath. So much went on during that time…

Nancy, his wife, suffered with him in his long fight with Alzheimer’s disease. She used to walk with him every morning through their Hollywood neighbourhood even though he basically didn’t even know where he was.

Interestingly enough the press, who could have taken photos of the President in his infirmed state kept their distance. Perhaps not all reporters are sensationlistic lookie loos.

Anyway, although not liked by everyone he was the President of the United States for two terms and will be (has been)missed. Our condolences to the family.
