I wasn't one of Reagan's fans, but I wouldn't wish his end on anybody.

Reagan was an electric personality, and he had a great sense of humor..........which was robbed from him and his family by a vile disease. My heart goes out to his family.

One of the reasons I disliked Reagan as President was his efforts to stop the stem-cell research that I felt was my best chance at leading a normal life, being an insulin-dependant diabetic. I see that his wife Nancy has become an advocate for federal funding of stem-cell research to stop diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's, and spinal-cord injuries. I'm glad. She will be a powerful voice, having shown such strength of charachter caring for her husband during his long struggle.

The piece 60 Minutes did on Reagan last night left me feeling like Reagan was a great President........a true leader even if I didn't like his policies.

There was a great quote from Ron......."A great President isn't the one who does the greatest things......he's the one that gets the people to do the greatest things." Now that's a Presidential-style quote.

Looking at the chumps running this time around, you can easily see why Ron will be considered one of the greats.

My best to the Reagan family.
