Thanks for the link, I stand corrected. I was 10 years old when Reagan was elected, and had zero interest (as did my parents) in politics during my high school years, so I really don’t remember anything about his presidency. Only that my soap operas were interrupted for like 2 weeks because of the Iran-Contra hearings. When I did get into following politics in college and afterwards, I had just heard/read many times that he had Alzheimer’s during his years in office, and made the mistake of accepting that as fact without actually checking into the veracity of it. When David challenged me to list a source, or 3, I was surprised that there weren’t any easy to find sources, but figured that was due to Google’s search function being so dysfunctional. I’m not a big fan of Snopes, but they do seem to have all the facts listed, and there is no actual evidence, and indeed seems unlikely, that he was suffering from Alzheimer’s while in office.
