On Feb. 6, Ronald Reagan would have been 100 years old. I met him only once and then for not much more than a handshake, but seared into my memory are his radiant smile and sharp, penetrating eyes. We discussed our mutual friendship with my former legislative colleague Tom Rolfe. Tom was a leader in the movement to elect Reagan president. In connection with that effort, Tom had a powerfully revealing personal experience with Reagan that is now preserved in the Mansfield Library archives at the University of Montana. With Tom’s permission I will share it with you here.
