The Triumph of Nancy Reagan by Karen Tumulty (short books for teens txt) 📕

endeavor and enriched my life are Viveca Novak; Elaine Shannon; Jackie Calmes; Kit Seelye; and Lea Donosky.

During my fall 2017 fellowship at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, I was afforded an opportunity to dig into Nancy Reagan’s formative years in that city. But an even more valuable experience was seeing the inspiration to public service that people there—including David Axelrod, Alicia Sams, Gretchen Crosby Sims, Christine Hurley, and Ashley Jorn—are instilling in the generation to come. Among the students I got to know was Dylan Wells, whom I enlisted for research; she is now a journalist, which is more reason to feel hopeful about the future. In Chicago, my old friends Dorothy Collin and Bob Secter, as well as new acquaintance Leslie Hindman, helped me find clues to the world that Nancy Davis inhabited there. Latin School historian Teresa Sutter opened their records, which were incredibly revealing. I was guided at Smith College by Stacey Schmeidel, and at Sidwell Friends School by Loren Hardenbergh.

Saved for last are the people who matter the most: the three men who bring love and meaning to everything in my life. They are my sons, Nick and Jack, and my husband, Paul. Over the course of this project, Jack graduated from college and discovered a love of political campaigns. (Where did THAT come from?) Nick obtained his master’s degree in public policy and married, finally giving me a daughter, Molly.

Paul, a fine journalist, wrote his own excellent book, and took with mostly good humor the fact that the other author in the house had laid siege to our living room with seemingly permanent piles of dog-eared, out-of-print books and messy files.

It has been quite a journey, guys, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for us.
