RONALD REAGAN [1911]

Most people sleep through life,
A few dare to dream,
Others walk when they can run,
A handful learn to fly.

And they are one in a million.....Ronald Reagan was one of them.

He was the oldest man ever elected to the US Presidency, who brought a vision and vigor to the office that revitalized the spirit of the world’s most powerful nation.

Reagan’s ascension from humble roots to his triumphs in the White House is one of the most improbable and inspiring life stories of the 20th century. His journey from childhood to his careers as a lifeguard, a sports broadcaster, movie star, TV appearances, President of the Screen Actors’ Guild, Governor of California and finally in his greatest role : the seemingly simple, affable president who restored the country’s faith in itself, was indeed remarkable. One of the most controversial presidents in American history, he changed the nation more radically than any chief executive since Roosevelt. Ronald Reagan left his mark on the nation and also on the world – a mark as yet unaltered by time and fate.
