  During today’s show the topic turned to the love between Ronald and Nancy Reagan. In the course of remarking how Reagan had no problem showing affection in public to his wife, Bill Green said that this demonstrated, “a part of family values that went unsaid” and that Reagan, “didn’t have to talk about them.” Well, I’m more than happy to talk about “family values” in terms of Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was the only divorced president. Nancy Reagan delivered their first child Patti--full-term-- urlLink seven months after their wedding.
Patti did not know she had a half-sister and adopted sibling until she was urlLink seven years old. News releases in Reagan’s gubernatorial campaign announced that he had just two children urlLink (leaving out his two children from his first marriage). His son Michael, adopted during his first marriage, later revealed that he was molested by a camp counselor when he was eight. Ronald Reagan reportedly made urlLink no public or private response to his son's revelations. His other son Ron explained that he could tell his father had himself written the letter to the nation announcing that he had Alzheimer's, urlLink ''because there's no mention of his children.
'' Fine, we all know relationships can be hard and divorce isn’t easy, but can Bill Green, Bob Bruce or Fred Honsberger please explain the following in terms of family values: Michael Reagan has told the story that at his boarding school graduation, urlLink his father failed to recognize him. Ronald Reagan came up to his own son and stuck out his hand and introduced himself. Now that’s about as far away from any recognizable ‘family value’ that I know.
