This footage is a treasure because there's not a lot of video of Pres. Reagan during this stage of his life. One of his last major public appearances was at the 1992 convention where he gave a speech supporting George H.W. Bush.

There is a February 1994 speech as well at his 83rd birthday bash in DC. Former PM Thatcher also gave a speech. Reagan was slow, and sounded off, but more or less seemed he was lucid throughout the event. August 1994 is when he announced his diagnosis.

@@fshoaps Except Reagan never visited again. A speech to the RNC notwithstanding, there was a signficant reduction in Pres. Reagan's public appearances around this time. His last appearance in support of other GOP candidates was in 1992. When he withdrew from public life in 1994, it was via letter -- not a public appearance.

Reagans speech at ‘92 Republican convention was excellent and the highlight of a dreary Bush convention and campaign. The Reagans were said to be disappointed in Bush’s re-election campaign.

His daughter Patti said after that fall they found plaques on his brain and that was 1989. I so agree about the desire to preserve mental acuity. However, Reagan was already in his early 80s and lived another 10 years, which took him into the depths of memory loss.

I visited the Reagan birthplace in Tampico and his home in Dixon in 2018. Their home in Tampico was above a bank; they had the ledger from around 1918 which had entries from Reagan's mother withdrawing money, $5 or so each time. The home in Dixon was quite nice, with a large yard, but of course the Reagan's were renters, they never owned it.

A good man. We have none today. I hate the 21 century culture caused by that tiny but powerful group.

It's no mistake that mr. Reagan needed to have ginkgo biloba to keep his mind sharp as well as other natural herbs. Now here's something we should think about it is what we can do to keep ourselves healthy. What is the whole problem with Alzheimer's disease? People need to take no.2 what is so dangerous about Alzheimer's disease so they can prevent it.

My mom has Alzheimer’s now. It’s a horrible disease.

I don’t think that was Alzheimer’s she had her back to him and you really couldn’t tell. It could of been anyone. He would though forget what she was wearing. My grandmother for example she doesn’t forget by asking where is bob? She forgets to the point she forgets bob even exist. Like she would never say. Where is Nancy? When she forgets she completely forgets of there entire existence. He obviously remember his wife’s name was nancy and he did a double take on here Ike he thought that was her but it’s in public and it could be anyone. Lots of woman had hair in the same fashion.

Reagan was out of office for several years, yet looks helluva lot better than Biden

Playful the sens of humour sociable. He had a lot of things to be loved by people

Perhaps the blow to the head is what caused his dementia. Happened that way with my mom.

Still, he's a lot sharper than Biden.
