Personal Quote:
I had the pleasure of knowing Ronald Reagan before he became Governor of California. He was a truly great human being and we usually spent our time together reminiscing about mutual friends. He will be missed by all who knew him and by a nation that will mourn with us. (2004) See more »Trivia:
His status as a Republican disappointed Lady Bird Johnson, who was a fan of Gunsmoke (1955). See more »Trademark:
