Reception for Nancy Reagan

I was cleaning out the drawers in my dresser a couple of days ago and ran across an invitation that I received way back in 1966 when Ronald Reagan was running for governor of California. I went to that reception and I still remember Nancy and how she looked then. I thought it might be of interest to tell you what was on that invitation so here it is.

Donation - $1.00

Can you imagine that? $1.00 donation? Now it would probably be $1000.00 donation (and I wouldn't be going) or at least $100.00. I was always a Reagan fan. We got to hear him speak at a formal dinner in Century City in 1969. This was a dinner for Pepperdine University where my Hubby got his Master's Degree and both of our children graduated from. I have a lot of pictures I've taken at Pepperdine through the years. I'll have to post some of them in the future.
