 * __RONALD REAGAN__,

//"I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease... At the moment I feel just fine. I intend to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have always done... I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead. Thank you, my friends. May God always bless you." - Ronald Reagan//

His four physicians all stated that Reagan absolutely did not show any symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease during his presidency. At times he had forgotten names of a few people, but a physician employed as a reporter at New York Times stated that it's difficult to distinguish the line between becoming more forgetful and Alzheimer's Disease.

Ronald Reagan's wife Nancy Reagan and Ronald's family decided to let him live in quiet isolation as his Alzheimer's Disease worsen over time. His appearance became less frequent as his Disease got worse and eventually got to a point where he stayed home everyday. There were people sending him well-wishing cards and encouraging him through the "sunset of his life". At later stages, Ronald Reagan could still recognize a few people, but not his wife Nancy Reagan. __What do you know?__ Was Ronald Reagan diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease during his presidency?
