Many Believed in Ronald Reagan Long Before He Entered Politics

The 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birthday February 6 will be the occasion for many people to tell special memories of him.  Possibly the first person to propose Reagan for office was a rancher who had a lot pf acreage along Highway 71 between Alexandria and Baton Rouge, if my memory is correct.  He posted signs  declaring "This is Reagan Country " on fence posts all along the highway.  I always wondered who he was and now I wonder if he was alive to see Reagan elected as president.  Whoever he was, he was definitely one of the first to see Reagan as right for this nation.
