Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was the 40th President of the United States and the 33rd Governor of California. Considered an icon of the Republican Party, Reagan began his political affiliations as a liberal Democrat, but officially changed parties in 1962.

Born in Tampico, Illinois and educated at Eureka College, Reagan enacted sweeping changes to the economic and political systems of the United States.

His supply side economic ideology, coined "Reaganomics" by the media advocated reducing tax rates and deregulation of the economy among others'. Credited for ending the Cold War and the fall of Communism in the former Soviet Union survived an assassination attempt and won re-election by a landslide in 1984.

Nancy Davis Reagan (1921- ), married to the Republican icon Ronald Reagan, served as First Lady of the United States from 1981-1989. Born in New York City, Nancy grew up in Bethesda, Maryland after her parents divorced.

Perhaps her most notable contribution to during her tenure as First Lady was the "Just Say No" anti-drug initiative, formed in 1982. Its genesis took place when a schoolgirl asked what she should do if offered drugs and Nancy’s reply was "Just Say No". This iconic phrase exploded into popular culture in the 1980s, had school anti-drug campaigns named after it and was used as the name for clubs and other anti-drug organizations. Mrs. Reagan currently resides in Bel Air, California and is active in the Reagan Library as well as in politics.
