...I was working on an island in Alaska (like...a...dog).
No news, no fresh fruits and veggies...it was two days before I heard President Reagan was shot.

To this day...I CANNOT miss the news...or forgo fresh
produce.....just.....can't.

Thought I had seen every angle of that assassination attempt...but saw a new one today...and was floored.

Where do we get these people?...I dunno....Secret Service Agent Jerry Parr could NOT have been quicker....milliseconds, and the President was in the car.
I am saddened by the necessity for these men and women...I am eternally grateful that they are so willing and able. Our troops ....the same.

He was MY President...politics be damned....as I couldn't care less (which used to annoy my Father immensely)...We are a nation of laws, and reason, and compromise, and civility...at least I hope so.

I'm remembering a shining moment...actually, I don't think I'll ever forget.

Best,

Jon
