Ronald & Nancy Reagan

by Ruth Ashby

Presidents and First Ladies #40

Throughout their married life, Ronald Reagan wrote tender love letters to his wife, Nancy. This playful anniversary note was written in March 1981, soon after Reagan was sworn in as president of the United States. During the fifty-two years of their marriage, Ronald and Nancy shared an extremely close, loving relationship. Even in the Oval Office, Reagan was dependent on his wife for support and counsel. “I miss her if she just walks out of the room,” he wrote. She, in turn, adored her “hero.” As president and first lady, Ronald and Nancy Reagan lived through eight tumultuous years in the world’s spotlight. Through good times and bad, their love story continued.
