Did/will Jane Wyman attend any of the services?

She was reported as being at the Library with the family on another thread.

ANY "Leader" who "Cannot Find the Time"" to Honor Mr Reagan has "Declared Themselves" as a "Total, International Weasel!!"

Ronald Reagan had SUCH a Profound effect on the "Current Political Landscape of Europe & America," that to "Ignore" Mr Reagan's "Contribution" is to Ignore the ESSENCE of His Contribution to our Political Landscape!!

She was his political soulmate.
Seeing her courtsey was a sight to behold.
Heart breaking and yet, majestic.

My mother took care of my grandmother during her alzeheimers. It was rough. We don't have nearly the money they do, but my grandma was loved and cared for during her last days. She was 96 when she passed a couple years ago. She was ill for about 12 years.

Chirac is not comming as an intentinal insult. He is trying to say the USA is unimportant for france's concern.

It is just another way to spit at the USA.

there should be no more french anything products, wines, or cheeses in anyones shopping list.

I saw and heard her speak in San Angelo, TX of all places! She was great. I guess it was about 10 years ago too. She praised Reagan throughout her speech.

Maggie and Dutch were the last STATESMEN of our or any future time. I don't think Maggie would mind being labeled a STATESMEN either. While Ronnie was ruffling feathers on criminal hill, Maggie was socking it to them on Downing Street. I was in prep school at that time and my history professors would start every class with a recap of what was going on in Washington, DC and in England. The 80's were such an exciting time to learn about Gov't. It's too bad such losers took over both nation's havens of civics.

Jack Kemp was on FNC and was talking about how Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II all came into power from 1979-1981 and proved to change the world, how true. Three idealists who captured the majority's hope and sensibilities, only to be constantly attacked by an illogical leftist agenda.

The reason I say they were the LAST is because nowadays all puppeticians seem interested in is appeasing their contributors, the polls and the damned special interest groups. I doubt we will ever see a civil servant who is willing to follow the ideals that got them elected in the first place!

Let's raise a cold one for Dutch! He did what was right, not what the polls or the media thought was right. Rest in peace my friend, you have truly earned it!

She can speak, and effectively. Her doctors just don't want her to speak in public. I suppose she gets worked up and raises her blood pressure, not good in someone who's had strokes. Still, she has spoken recently. Check out Thatcher launches attack on Blair

The Brits are soooo eloquent when it come to dressing up! I just love the hat and the gloves. Wish Americans would dress up like that on special occasions.

I found it on the Southern California Bouvier website- http://scbdfc.com/
The Reagans had a Bouvier named Lucky. If you go to the website and click "history" and then "Lucky" there are some great pictures of the Reagans with their dog.

I miss the 80s!

Me, too!
By the way, I was lucky enough to get to see Reagan speak at an outdoors event in Great Valley, Pennsylvania back in the mid '80s. I felt at the time that I was in the presence of greatness.

Thank you for that link. Seeing him with the dog makes him 'real' to me. I love the picture of the HUGE Bouvier standing on a seat in the helicopter.

I'm thinking RWR may have been negotiating who was really in charge at that point:)
