...your high school-age daughter is writing her semester paper on An Historical Topic and that happens to be the world-stage-magnitude discourse between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev just prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union...
...and you remember it as 'not that long ago'....; and then remember your oldest child (now 20) was a newborn when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989...
...and you remember passing through Checkpoint Charlie 'not that long' before that, as a college student in Europe one summer...were you ever really that young???
...and last week a friend sent you an e-mail forward with the subject line 'Remember This Guy?' ....and it's all about....Ronald Reagan. Have there really been four successive incumbents in the White House since his tenure?
...and about a week ago, you heard on the radio that this month would have marked President Reagan's 99th birthday (he was born on 6 February 1911).
