IN ONE WORD:  Kindheartedness

Exposition~~

So many laudatory things have been written about President Reagan by others that I will simply say here that the character trait he best exemplified of which I made personal note of was his kindheartedness.

This attribute was best dramatized by his personal correspondence.  All Presidents write letters to American citizens who’ve written them for various reasons that are hand selected by staff for response.  Most are composed and auto-penned out at lowly clerical level and never seen by the President.

President Reagan took pains to write his notes personally, by hand and the subjects addressed were of many different kinds~~often very intimate and touching upon the long nights of the soul through which we are all destined to eventually go.

He cared for people and was fascinated by them~~on a personal, one-on-one basis. Often, he would put a bit of money in the envelope to a writer who was down on his luck~~designed to accompany his note of encouragement.

He was a gentleman~~in the purest sense of that term.  Sui Generis.  He broke the mold. The mold is broken.

He was a great leader to be sure~~but all that sort has been covered by others many times in other venues.  I remember what might strike the reader as a comparatively small matter~~I remember President Reagan’s kindheartedness.

That trait was twin brother to his boundless optimism and both were very real and visceral and they resonated with people directly, tangibly, personally.

He and I were of like mind that charity–caring for one’s fellow man~~is one’s personal responsibility~~not to be fobbed off on the government or the Church~~he believed as do I~~that caring for the sad, the poor, the misbegotten, is one’s personal responsibility and, in sharing that belief, he is a most fond memory.

 He was inspirational.  Simply. Inspirational.~~

Reagan’s hope to revive patriotism was evident in his 1980 campaign materials.~~

What a remarkable idea~~reviving patriotism~~can you imagine any American politician today setting that as a national goal?  You don’t have to think very long about that~~now do ya?  The answer is NO.  Most unfortunately.~~
