I have to say, no matter how one feels about Reagan - and I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone I how I feel about Reagan ;-) - this is one really moving ceremony. There aren't many ceremonial functions that we do particularly well, but we do do extremely impressive send-offs for Presidents etc....Of course I also couldn't help thinking as I saw Nancy tentatively touch the casket as it made a turn past her, 'hope someone got THAT shot.' :-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Walt Johnson Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 6:48 PM To: Lugmail Subject: [Leica] Remembering the Reagan years Pardon me if this is slightly off topic but for those who might have made it to Berkeley while Reagan was Governor: email to fellow photog about "People's Park" and some of what's been. "Yes, I mentioned it was 1969.. A good year for demonstrations. I showed up there at about 5 pm. The place was crawling with poleeze. They got guns. They been shooting and laughing and having a real time. Next day the Nastynal Guard showed its ugly head. Wished to hell I could find my negs of all that.
