I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the news....
I don't remember much if anything about Ronald Reagan's presidency, but from what I have always been told by my family and what I have learned from school, he was a great man, the people's president. If only more people could be like him, so caring and compassionate towards others. I admire his wife after this week, she has been so strong and graceful. My heart goes out to her and my heart broke as she broke down just now at the final funeral ceremony. 53 years and 10 years taking care of him, I can't imagine. They truly had the great american love story that each and every one of us longs to have sometime during our life. Bless her soul and may he forever live with the great honor and dignity that we came to know.

1. Where were you went you heard that Ronald Reagan died? I was at work. I was bored and I was checking the news out on cnn, and as soon as the page came up there were big letters with REAGAN DIES on the front page and I just froze and called my coworker over and told him what had happened. I couldn't believe it.
2. Where were you on September 11, 2001? I was home alone and in the shower. As soon as I stepped out of the shower the phone was ringing so I wrapped up in my towel and grabbed the phone and my aunt was screaming at me to turn on the tv so I did and when I did the 2nd tower was hit and I just fell to my knees and watched in disbelief.
3. Where were you when you heard that Princess Diana died? I really do not remember where I was exactly but I would be willing to say I was at my aunt's house with her. I do however remember the funeral because it was on tv at like 2 in the morning and all I could hear was the ringing bells.
4. Do you remember where you were when you heard Kurt Cobain had died? Nope, to young and I could of really cared less.
5. Take one for The Gipper: Favorie Jelly Bellies! Any of the sour jelly bellies will do just fine!
Rest in Peace Dutch!
