"It was during his tenure as president that Dr. Martin Luther Kings holiday became 
official. That's when he sort of motivated people to think about themselves. I have very 
good memories of him."

Yvette Swanston

"He was a good president, even though he didn't work with some groups. He didn't cover 
ground much with the Latino community. He was a good president, he made a lot of 
changes."

Pedro Perez

"I crossed party lines when Mr. Reagan was running for president. I liked his policies and 
his visions. I became a Republican after that. He had good, conservative insights. The 
welfare reforms have certainly helped."

Mario Ponte

"His acting ability made him so cheerful, and we needed [it] so badly. He gave us spirit 
and hope and faith."

Mildred Gilliamsen

"I was indebted to him because he kept us at peace for eight years. He got the economy 
moving again and broke down the Berlin Wall. I always admired him as a great 
communicator."
