“Honesty, the one word that sums up the essence of Ronald Reagan. There’s

wasn’t a fearful man or a fearful politician.” “Reagan displayed Bravery but
never Bravado!”

WHAT STAFF, FRIENDS
AND PROFESSIONALS
SAID ABOUT REAGAN
“Regarding these interviews with people who worked for the Reagans in so many
different capacities: I would be surprised ff anybody who worked for him had a
really negative word. Now there probably have been and maybe there will be very, very few who don’t like him, personally---or---who felt that they were cheated and never got close to him.”
“RR was absolutely Numero Uno in Nancy’s life. All the time. And she was with him! They were totally wound into each other, to the exclusion of everybody else.
This was a totally interdependent relationship.
Reagan was gracious---and---FUNNY! He had people in ‘stitches’ all the time---and he was a total gentleman. You always knew where Reagan stood. He never equated disagreement with disloyalty.

Lyn Nofziger, Governor Ronald Reagan & President Ronald Reagan |

“Curtis: I have just finished reading every word of your book, REAGAN:
WHAT WAS HE REALLY LIKE? and want to compliment you on writing a
very interesting, engaging presentation of RR’s political beginnings. He
obviously was a unique, one of a kind, person and you were privileged to
have been involved with his campaigns in his politically formative years.
I found it very interesting that literally all of his early years staff people like
you used the same terms to describe RR, namely: Sincere, Honest, Decent,
of High-Integrity, Funny, Consistent, Intellectual and Likeable. It is a real
tribute for any person to be described as possessing those qualities. Thanks
