Monday Motivation: Did you know this? Let us know...

Did you know that in March 1990 the Walter Annenberg's Foundation gave a $50 million challenge grant to the United Negro College Fund?

Walter Annenberg, of Rancho Mirage, California, on March 13th, 1990

Here was President Ronald Regan's response:

 

Dear Walter:

We got off the phone before I had a chance to tell you how wonderful it is for you to be so generous to the United Negro College Fund, so I'm writing this note to tell you that what you have done is one of the single greatest acts of generosity I have ever known...

I could go on and on this letter was so touching as was the generous gift.

Now I had to share a photo, unlike my handwriting, President Ronald Reagan's was great. Check it out.

He wrote this to General Colin Powell....

On a side note, I can pick his book of A Life in Letters any time up and find nuggets that you would not read in the media. What a classy guy and what an awesome person. Many called him a B rate Actor, as far as I am concerned, he should have received the Oscar for his eight years of being President of the United States.

Love his, Endre, and as far as I am concerned, Reagan was he best POTUS of my lifetime.

Good morning chef Endre,

I love your statement "Reagan should have received the Oscar for his eight years of being President of the United States." That is a fact!

Reading the letter, I can't believe there was a day when the report was "The world is quiet today, Mr. President" - That must have been quite the day!

His handwriting at least looks legible, unlike what you have described yours to be, haha.

Michael Elliott  I remember seeing him in  the early 1980's in Waterbury CT and the Secret Service had me checked 500 yards away 300 yards away and at 150 ft they realized I was not one of them:)) I wore a three-peace suit and just got out of the army I looked like them... but I am digressing, loved him as a POTUS, Endre

Endre, I prefer not to discuss politics here, but I've always admired Ronald Reagan, and my appreciation for him grows stronger over time.

Endre Barath, Jr. - Thanks for sharing that wonderful letter. Somewhere in my overcrowded libary of books of many pages, I have "I Love You Ronnie: The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan." I liked it so well, I bought a second copy and mailed it to my aunt after my uncled died. She really treasured that book and read the book of many letters. 

He was a good letter writer!
