Barbara Greenspun remembers 1967: Hank was a believer in Reagan’s philosophy
Friday, Nov. 3, 2000 | 9:52 a.m.
Until I read Hank's column of March 24, 1967, I had forgotten that he considered Ronald Reagan as a possible presidential candidate 13 years before he actually became president.
To this day I am a strong believer in then-Gov. Reagan's philosophy as detailed in the column. Hank wrote of the future president's unqualified negative opinion on encroaching bureaucracy, the need for decreasing the cost of government and the responsible spending by public officials. All of which still apply some 33 years later.
I do recall our pleasure at being present for President Reagan's inauguration and the festivities enjoyed by many residents of Las Vegas who traveled to Washington, D.C., for the event.
