- Abraham Lincoln sitting beside Biz Gainey. These two can be brutally honest and truthful!
- Thomas Jefferson sitting beside Rod Leupp - these two are so brilliant.
- Ronald Reagan sitting beside me because he is one of my favorites.
- George W. Bush sitting beside my dad, who would love to chat about baseball and farming.
Peggy Noonan (Presidential speechwriter) in her book "What I Saw At The Revolution", wrote of her years writing speeches for President Reagan. She wrote the famous speech at the Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial Service, which has been tagged by many as one of the greatest speeches/moments of any U.S. President. Reagan was tender, compassionate, honoring, and rather pastoral during the speech to the grieving family and saddened country.
Noonan also wrote the famous speech Reagan gave in Normandy, France at the 20th Anniversary of D-Day. It is also considered one of the brightest moments of Reagan's speeches. Again, honoring, compassionate, and pastoral.
It is an awesome book! I recommend it to anyone who wants to get a glance into the Reagan years.
