He finished his terms & disappeared into the darkness without bad-mouthing anyone during his retirement. People have always asked how history will treat Reagan. History is treating Reagan better than just about anyone since FDR, which surprises me but doesn't chagrin me.

Colen Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 6:26 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] Remembering the Reagan years As I read this I am watching the casket being carried into the Rotunda. I have to say, no matter how one feels about Reagan - and I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone I how I feel about Reagan ;-) - this is one really moving ceremony. There aren't many ceremonial functions that we do particularly well, but we do do extremely impressive send-offs for Presidents etc....Of course I also couldn't help thinking as I saw Nancy tentatively touch the casket as it made a turn past her, 'hope someone got THAT shot.' :-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Walt Johnson Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 6:48 PM To: Lugmail Subject: [Leica] Remembering the Reagan years Pardon me if this is slightly off topic but for those who might have made it to Berkeley while Reagan was Governor: email to fellow photog about "People's Park" and some of what's been. "Yes, I mentioned it was 1969.. A good year for demonstrations. I showed up there at about 5 pm. The place was crawling with poleeze. They got guns. They been shooting and laughing and having a real time. Next day the Nastynal Guard showed its ugly head. Wished to hell I could find my negs of all that.
