A week from tomorrow will be February 6. The date will mark the centennial of President Ronald Reagan's birth in Tampico, Illinois on February 6, 1911.
As the media focused on this anniversary this week, I decided to go through my photo albums of pictures I took of President Reagan. This collection are just some from years of 1976 to 1980.
Above, Ronald and Nancy Reagan arrive for a meeting at the Hilton Hotel in Kansas City during the 1976 Republican National Convention. I was a California Reagan Delegate and we stayed at this hotel. I managed to take this picture by pure luck.
Above, Governor Reagan arrives at a Pepperdine University law department classrooom to deliver luncheon speech in early 1979 at the Malibu campus.

Above, a welcome home rally was held at Los Angeles International Airport when Ronald and Nancy Reagan returned from the 1980 GOP National Convention in Detroit.The next set of photos I will post will be ones I took of Reagan while he was President of the United States.
One additional photo:
