Wonderful picture and post, Benning! You are an extremely lucky man to have met President Reagan personally.

Oh God Mike,

That took me back.

God knows and you know how much I LOVED President Ronald Wilson Reagan.

There will NEVER be a Replacement!

Thank you for that

Hey Mike, great stuff, thanks for stoking the memories-

I was at that Perrysburg for that whistlestop tour in 1984- I was just searching to see a picture of that train, and you had it posted! And it's an excellent shot, I can see why it's your fave.

I was a student at BGSU and saw him our auditorium, but decided to catch his next stop the next day 20mi north.

I blog as the Reaganite Republican, so obviously the Gipper had his effect on me!

James: I was the guy who started the BGSU Students for Reagan Bush group that brought the President to town. Glad you were there. Many fond memories to be sure, but also a mandate for our future.
