Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004)

As the 40th president of the United States, the former movie star
was called the “Great Communicator” for his ability to get through
to ordinary Americans and give them hope and optimism for their
own future and that of their country.

But before his years of Hollywood stardom, and long before
Washington, Ronald Reagan was born on February 6, 1911,
in Tampico, a small town in northwestern Illinois.

On July 14, 1913, Gerald R. Ford was born Leslie Lynch King, Jr.
in Omaha, Nebraska. His biological father left the family when
Ford was three years old. His mother’s second husband, Gerald
Ford, adopted the young boy and gave him his name.

The young Ford went on to become the first vice president to
assume office after a president resigned, after President
Richard M. Nixon (below) stepped down in 1974.
