CBS News A Nation Bids Reagan Farewell June 12, 2004 21:08:50 That capped three days of pageantry and tradition unique to a presidential state funeral— the casket's procession by horse-drawn caisson along Constitution Avenue, the lying in state in the Capitol's hall of heroes and the national funeral service before an invitation-only crowd of 4,000. Reagan had begun thinking of his last rites in 1981, his first year as president, and planned some elements of the funeral— inviting the elder Bush and Thatcher to speak, asking Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to do a reading and expressing a wish for an operatic soloist, family representatives said. In poignant eulogies at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the nation's 40th president was remembered by his surviving children as a father, grandfather and husband who was finally free from the grip of Alzheimer's disease. www.cbsnews.com /stories/2004/06/05/national/main621238.shtml   (1327 words)
