Originally Posted By SFH Thanks, Doug! I remember when he was there for the 35th, and there was a group of people cheering him by name as he prepared to speak. He'd turn to them, waving and smiling. Ken

And sure remember when he was assaulted and we were all sent home from school as we holded our breath over the news! And was shocked when he told us about his disease! *sigh* Like everyone else, we too are flying our flag half-staff... :O<

Originally Posted By netenyahoo What a great American! He will be greatly missed. I too hope there is something done for him in the park like a Main Street window or something. Maybe they could do something next year on the 50th, but they should do something this July 17th too.

Originally Posted By DMarsh Thanks for all the kind words about the article. I enjoyed looking closely at that opening day special again. I well remember hearing about the event on January 11, 1990 that morning, up in Pasadenea. I drove down as fast as I could, and was able to get the photos I included. It was the last public appearance by Bob Cummings, who died shortly after. Incidently, the flag at Disneyland is flown at half staff just about anytime it is called for on a national level. The last time I know of was on September 11, 2001.
Originally Posted By Labuda Nice job, Mr. Marsh! And, what a neat picture of the parade from the 35th with all those Secret Service guys!
Originally Posted By danyoung Y'know, with all of the hoopla on every news front for the past few days, it never occurred to me to make the connection to the opening ceremonies. I have the telecast on tape, and knew he was there, but I kinda forgot. With all of the remembrances of President Reagan, it's nice to read one where he did something really important! Thanks much!!
