called 'The Diplomat', watch it. About Katarina Witt, the wall coming down, etc. Interesting stuff.

When Reagan visited Ireland in the early 80's CHief, I was out in the middle of nowhere rounding up cattle, when Reagan's convoy of low flying choppers appeared out of the blue and flew overhead. I was alone and probably 12yrs old, and the impending darkness meant that I was scared stiff!...there may have been some ass seepage :-)

he was by far the most uplifting President we have ever had. He believed in the American people and never gave a speech that did not include us in terms of what we could do.

Haven't had one since. GW came close, but didn't really like being President. Reagan loved it.
