Thread Name: BS: Reagan Funeral Looks Kennedy-esque
Subject: RE: BS: Reagan Funeral Looks Kennedy-esque
They're burying Reagan at sunset at the spot at his library that he picked and has visited many times. The ceremony out there will be a reflection of his Hollywood years, apparently. Lots of celebrities. On the news they said Kirk Douglas (who has had several strokes) and Charlton Heston (who has Aldzheimers) will be there. If they sound anything like Margaret Thatcher (who I think also had a stroke) did in the news clip I heard at lunch, it will be a short and breathy and not too audible set of remarks. But robust Gov. Ahnold will be there, too. They said the Reagan children will speak at this ceremony. It sounds like it all might be kind of odd and very sad for a lot of different reasons.
