I spent this past week at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, where I combed through several dozen boxes of material from the 1980 and 1984 campaign records and also attended the “Age of Reagan” conference.
As a 90s Wheaton alum, I appreciate the insight here. I'm struggling to understand how so many alum vehemently support Vought given Wheaton's history, but that is a discussion for another day.

I keep thinking about how solid this piece is. It should be in CT.
Thank you, Joey. That's very kind of you to say.
