Leigh, the girls and I rode down to Santa Barbara for lunch today on news that the USS Ronald Reagan was anchored in the harbor. You may or may not know that we are huge Reagophiles and generally refer to him in hushed tones around the house as Ronaldo Magnus. Apparently I am not alone, since a CNN poll found him to be the top rated president in our history, even in front of Honest Abe and JFK. Anywho, it was an awesome sight to see--a ship almost as long as the Empire State Building is high! And to know that it was named after an incredible leader and gentleman. I understand several sailors from the Reagan were even given a tour of the Reagan Ranch in Goleta. We're working a similar tour for our missile students, but more of an ethics retreat. I came in the Air Force the first time (1983) on the sheer enthusiasm Reagan inspired for America. Man, we miss him.
