I was a Page at the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, and worked on Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign at my college with my father, a Republican National Committeeman.
On the last day of the convention, I found an envelope that was addressed to me under my hotel door. It was an invitation to a luncheon that afternoon. I was instructed to wear a pin to gain entrance. President Reagan and Vice President Bush were holding a thank you luncheon for people who had worked for them and senior members of the Republican Party. When we arrived, we ran into none other than Charlton Heston. This pin is yellowed, but it reminds me of that lunch. Oh, and Reagan and Bush were there too.
