"I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always
eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every
life." - Ronald W. Reagan

* The burial and memorial site is located on the southwestern end of
the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which was built on a hilltop
that offers panoramic views of a farm valley and the distant Pacific
Ocean.

"The journey has not been just my own, It seems I have been guided by
a force much larger than myself, a force made up of ideas and beliefs
about what this country is and what it could be." - Ronald W. Reagan

* The casket was to be buried west of the curved wall facing the
Pacific Ocean.

* The memorial site is open to visitors to the 100-acre presidential
library and museum.

When he came back yesterday for burial Ventura county came to a
standstill.

Work emptied out and something happened that never happened before in
my memory and that is the freeways stopped. People got out of their
cars to watch the funeral procession pass by. People standing on the
overpass, by the side of the road or anywhere they could get a look at
the procession.

It was an amazing display of affection for Reagan that people would
spontaneously do this.

I plan on visiting his museum and burial site next weekend.
