Ronald Regan Presidential Library Simi Valley, Ca

October 2006

Ronald Reagan's Presidential Library is one of the more enjoyable ones. In 2005 they opened up the Air Force One Pavilion. It has the plane that he and 6 other President's used. They also put in a Marine One helicopter along with a Secret Service car and police car and motorcycle. In the library itself, they have some of the gifts that he got while in office along with some of the movie posters/outfits he used when he was a actor. There is the sweater and bullet proof vest he wore when he left the hospital after the assassination attempt. There are a lot of really interesting things in his library.

On the way to see family in Wisconsin, I stopped at Tampico Illinois to see where he was born. There is a bank where he was born. Not far from the bank is a early boyhood home. After the stop in Tampico I stopped in Dixon to see his boyhood home. After the video they showed in the visitor center, they said he got into trouble when he was throwing firecrackers off a bridge. He didn't know that a police officer had pulled up next to him and he got in trouble by the police when he said "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Who The Heck Do You Think You Are" The fine was 14.85 which was almost the amount of the house payment. He has come back to the house in Dixon I think they said about nine times. The last time was in 1992.
