"RONALD & NANCY REAGAN:
*"The real deal --- moral, honest, respectful, and dignified.
They treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and
honor. Thanked everyone all the time. He took the time to know
everyone on a personal level. "
"One "favorite" story which has circulated among the Secret
Service personnel was an incident early in his Presidency,
when he came out of his room with a pistol tucked on his hip.
The agent in charge asked: "Why the pistol, Mr. President?"
He replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help."
It was common for him to carry a pistol. When he met with
Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase. Upon learning that
Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice, Reagan said,
"Boys will be boys, but boys will not be Presidents."
[He obviously either did not know or forgot JFK's and LBJ's
sexcapades!]"
**"She was very nice but very protective of the President; and
the Secret Service was often caught in the middle. She tried
hard to control what the President ate, and he would say to the
agent "Come on, you gotta help me out."
The Reagans drank wine during State dinners and special
occasions only; otherwise, they shunned alcohol; the Secret
Service could count on one hand the times they were served
wine during their "family dinner". For all the fake bluster of
the Carters, the Reagans were the ones who lived life as
genuinely moral people."
