In hindsight he was probably dealing with early dementia while in office. Still, he did a great deal to shore up this country's confidence and made us (at least me) proud to be Americans. I think he would be sick to his stomach at what's happening now. President Reagan was a great story teller. He once worked as a broadcaster for Cubs games by reading what was coming over the telegraph wires. One game the wire went silent and he never missed a pitch. He just had the batter continue fouling off balls until the wire came up again. He also told how he had trouble remembering peoples names so he developed a little trick. He would say, oh I've forgotten your name, and they would tell him their first name and he would say, oh no, I know that. I want to introduce you formally and I've forgotten your last name. It made people feel as if he really cared. And he did. I use the same trick a lot in dealing with people as I'm bad with names too. Anyway, he grew up not a half hour from where I live and was infused with good solid midwestern values. IMO, of course. I liked him a great deal.
