  LubbockOnline.com - Ronald Reagan Freeway? 06/19/04
I agree with the letter writer, but I think that instead of renaming Frankford Avenue to Ronald Reagan Avenue, it should be something bigger to symbolize what a great man he was.
I am only 21 years old, so I don't know much about Ronald Reagan, but I watched his funeral the whole week it was on TV and, according to many, many people, he was a great and wonderful man. So I think that his memory should be kept alive here in Lubbock.
All I am saying is that we should name the freeway after someone who has done something for our country.
