‘’GREAT COMMUNICATOR” BORN ON THIS DAY
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.
Despite his lifelong opposition to “big” government, he was credited
with restoring faith in the U.S. government and the presidency after
a long era of disillusionment in the wake of Nixon, Vietnam and
economic hardship under Carter.
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.
FUTURE U.S. PRESIDENT BORN ON THIS DAY
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.
