Former President George H. W. Bush delivers a eulogy for Ronald Reagan

Well my high school basketball teams that I was following both lost yesterday. Valley Springs Boys beat my Arkansas Baptist Eagles and Rogers beat my Bryant Lady Hornets. I traveled to Searcy to watch the Eagles play a 8:30pm game (which started 45 minutes late) with my grandson Luke. We got home at 12:15 am and Luke was still wide awake!!!

In the video clip above you will see George H. W. Bush speaking. I got  to meet him in 1980 when a student at Memphis State. I also got to meet Lamar Alexander who the governor  of Tennessee and now is the U.S. Senator from Tennessee.

The Making of a Presidential Centennial

By Stewart D. McLaurin, Executive Director, The Ronald Reagan Centennial Celebration


Planning a Centennial such as this takes on the form, feel, and intensity of a national political campaign, with millions of dollars to be raised, scores of events to be organized, deadlines to be met, and strong, widespread interest for participation. Leadership to plan and execute this year of events is a privilege as we honor a man whose life and legacy stands on its own and whose lasting lessons of leadership can still provide a road map for the next generation. It is a purposeful tribute to a man who began with humble Midwestern roots, began his career in sports broadcasting, found success in the entertainment industry, became the national spokesperson for GE Theater, ran for Governor of California and served two successful terms, then became President of the United States – and one of the greatest Americans in history.
This issue of CSQ Magazine contains perspectives of just a few of the Reagan Centennial partners. Many more than those reflected on these pages have made this celebration possible. The Centennial Web site (www.reagancentennial.com) gives in-depth information on the Centennial, all of our partners, and the events and initiatives that will take place around the globe over the
coming months.
The Reagan Library and Museum is the most visited of the 12 presidential libraries in the United States. The National Archives maintains and curates the archival elements of the Museum through extraordinary exhibits. And the Reagan Foundation hosts programs year-round to educate young and old about American government, the Presidency, and President Reagan.
As America honors our 40th President of the United States
on the Centennial of his birth and throughout 2011, we invite everyone to visit the Reagan Library and enjoy this incredible museum experience.
