Former President Ronald Reagan

Again, not my pic, but I was really too young to hold a camera. He visited my hometown on his first presidential campaign and by accident, my family arrived at the rally not on time, but early enough to get some really great seats...or spot staked out. When he arrived, he even stopped to visit with us...or rather most of us, because being as young as I was, I apparently refused to talk or shake his hand. Dad then told me "This is going to be the next President of the United States," trying to coax me into greeting him, but the president responded with a smile, "She couldn't care less." I am now of course a big fan, but then, he was a stranger, and I had been taught not to speak to strangers.
