"Razing Reagan" v. 'Saving Reagan'

Dear Friends of President Reagan's Chicago Home:

We're in the endgame on the Reagan Chicago home, as these two articles in the Weekly Standard and Chicago Sun-Times make clear.

Please know, even though the City of Chicago refuses to landmark this home where Reagan lived when he was four, it is not over yet.  Frankly, the land-marking charade was always just a sideshow and only serves to reveal the 'small-mindedness' of the bureaucrats, as underscored in the The Weekly Standard's "Razing Reagan." 

We are working diligently to affect a change of heart at the University of Chicago, which owns the property and wants to demolish the Reagan home.  It's the only entity with the power to save this South Side Chicago home that had such emotional resonance for Reagan, about which Nick Hahn and I wrote in "Save the Chicago Home of Ronald Reagan."  

University of Chicago President Robert J. Zimmer -
the only one with the power to save the Reagan Chicago home

As Reagan always said, "It Can Be Done."  But, time is short, and, frankly, it will take a miracle to affect a change of heart in University of Chicago President Robert Zimmer - the kind of miracle that saved four-year-old "Dutch" Reagan's life when he survived near-fatal pneumonia while living in the Chicago home we are now trying to save.  

Thanks for your support... and your prayers.

Best,
Mary Claire Kendall, President
Friends of President Reagan's Chicago Home
