Ronnie Reagan, RIP

It was the bitterest of ironies that the Great Communicator should've suffered from Alzheimer's in his later years. In his prime, no one could equal his ability to reach out to the public. Even when one disagreed with his message, one was forced to reckon the messenger among the great men of the world.

Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, died Saturday at his home in Los Angeles, with his wife and children at his bedside. His son, Michael said: "I pray that as America reflects on the passing of my dad, they will remember a man of integrity, conviction and good humor that changed America and the world for the better."

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
