I've read quite a bit of stuff about Reagan. He was in every sense of the word a fine leader and a great human being. Alot of the stories told were by his peers or people that crossed paths with him in life's jouney.
He loved to work, cut wood, clear fence rows, fix and mend fences on his ranch. Was a very good horseman and shoveled alot of stalls himself. Secret Service and Presidential aids were constantly in a quandry as to why the President wanted to shovel Do Do himself when others should be doing that. His reply to them use to always be, ''You guys don't understand I like this stuff it makes me feel good''.
An Espanic gardener at the White House whom had seen several different administrations come and go in his long career as Grounds keeper said this about Reagan.
''He always takes time to talk to me and ask about and compliment my work. He was late for an important meeting once because we got to talking about flowers and forgot about the time''.
Picture in your mind just for moment.........................
Our present POTUS taking time to talk to a Gardener or shoveling out a horse's stall, LOL.
