1911-2004
He was the President of the US when I was born... but I didn't really care about politics until Clinton came around. I only heard about him in history class or every once in a while on the news. I guess I've always known that he's been alive this whole time, but it doesn't really feel like it. The same is true of Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Sr., and Bill Clinton. It almost surprises me when I see them on TV... its like they became dead to me when they no longer held the office of President.
So now, the thought of President Ronald Reagan truly ceasing to be alive is a very strange and difficult concept for me to grasp. But what an amazing century he lived through, eh?
