"If you ever start feeling sorry for yourself, try visiting hospitals."
-- Ronald Reagan
First Lady of California:
Nancy Reagan thought she had married an actor, but Ronald Reagan's career path carried her with some reluctance into the public eye. As California's first lady, she was fair game for the press and her husband's political opponents.
But she used her new role to help Californians. She visited hospitals and supported the Foster Grandparents Program. A special cause was helping wounded veterans and prisoners returning from the Vietnam War. The Reagans hosted four dinners for POWs, cherished the mementos given to them by the soldiers, and attended their reunions. |
