Heroes of History

Description

When Dutch was 15 years old, several drownings occurred on the Rock River. Something had to be done to make it safe for swimmers. Dutch came up with an idea, and was hired as a lifeguard. He never forgot that the lives of people depended on him, and no one drowned that summer.
From his early days living in small-town poverty, young “Dutch” Reagan’s thoughts were always on the future. Whether helping his family thgough financial hard times, or doggedly pursuing opportunities reserved for the few, Dutch knew that all the knowledge he had absorbed over the years was waiting inside of him for a chance to come out.
Achieving success as an athlete, sports announcer, and actor, Ronald Reagan discovered his greatest role late in life – as the fortieth president of the United States and “The Great Communicator,” a man with the ability to reach out to the American People and leave a lasting legacy.
