Above, Ronald Reagan's 1980 acceptance speech in Detroit, Michigan. I am at the arrow. |
One of my favorite things during convention season in presidential election years is to watch old GOP National Convention acceptance speeches.

Saturday night, I managed to watch on C-SPAN the 1956 Dwight D. Eisenhower acceptance speech at the Cow Palace in San Francisco (actually Daly City), the 1964 Barry Goldwater acceptance speech (also at the Cow Palace) and the 1980 Ronald Reagan acceptance speech at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena.
I only recently discovered the above Los Angeles Times photo.

It is fun looking back 32 years.
