This is also the one-year anniversary of Ronald Reagan's death.

Ah, now I get that line in the Billy Joel song "We didn't start the fire". Smiley

Pssh, this is much more important. Tongue


I love that song too.  My grade 12 History teacher actually showed it to us during one of our classes.

Ditto, I actually quoted the lyrics, though not that one, in my first published article.

I'll add, on topic, that John Purfumo, CBE, devoted the rest of his life to charity and is still alive at 90.  Despite the scandel, he remained married to his wife, Valerie Hobson, until her death in 1998.

Hobson was a film actress who appeared in The Bride of Frankenstien, among other films.
