While many of us never knew Ronald Reagan personally, we felt close to him because we shared his lighthearted sense of humor, admired his uncommon virtue, and were moved by his remarkable wisdom.

I was a big fan of Ronald Reagan. He was the first president I got to vote for.

And so it was interesting for me to find myself very enamored of a Republican president, but Ronald Reagan was someone I thought captured the spirit of America.

You know my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as dad. I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan's son.

First, President Reagan was not enthusiastic. But I built up a relationship with him in other areas and then persuaded him that this was important to us and to me, and that we had to at least be in the process of looking at this seriously.

As his vice president for eight years, I learned more from Ronald Reagan than from anyone I encountered in all my years of public life.

I had a soft-spot in my heart for Ronald Reagan, if only because he was a sportswriter in his youth.

Ronald Reagan became, you know, not only a Republican but a pretty conservative Republican - not the most. But a pretty conservative Republican. And he's somebody that I actually knew and liked. And he liked me. And I worked with him and helped him.

The person I liked the best was Gerald R. Ford. He was the most decent man in politics I ever had any relationships with.

I'm a conservative. I was an avid supporter of Ronald Reagan; I thought he was fabulous.
