They've added quite a few pics on there since I went on yesterday. Hopefully they'll put up even more.


I was wondering if anyone is taking an opportunity, or has already, to visit President Reagan's body? I'm considering going to see it in DC if I can get off of work and catch a ride.

At least two Tekes at funeral
 
The Eureka College pres went to the funeral in CA, and took the TKE chapter prytanis and the student body pres (who is a Teke) with him. That's nice.

South grad is invited to attend Reagan’s burial
Friday, June 11, 2004

JEREMY LAKOSH


It won’t be easy, but Jeremy LaKosh looks forward to his trip to California today.

Because he is the student body president at Eureka College in Eureka, Ill., LaKosh has been invited to attend the sunset burial ceremony for former President Ronald Reagan at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.

The 2001 Canton South High School graduate left at 6 this morning, flying to Chicago and then to California. He will be back in Illinois by Saturday to participate in a memorial service for Reagan at Eureka College.

“Without a doubt, I will remember this the rest of my life,” LaKosh said before leaving.

Being part of a ceremony to honor “somebody as admirable as Ronald Reagan makes it more amazing,” LaKosh said.

He will attend the burial service with fellow student Alan Knobloch of Sullivan, Ill., who is Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity president at Eureka, and Paul Lister, a retired Army major general who became Eureka College president last fall.

Reagan graduated from Eureka in 1932 and specified that he wanted representatives from the school to attend the burial service, said Michele Lehman, who handles media relations for the school.

Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932 and maintained ties to the college throughout his life. The school each year selects five students as Reagan Fellows through the Ronald Reagan Leadership Program. LaKosh competed with 60 other students for one of the five Reagan Fellow slots. Although he didn’t win one, he liked Eureka College and decided to attend.

As it turns out, LaKosh is a Tau Kappa Epsilon member just as Reagan was, and — again like Reagan — is student body president.

LaKosh was a toddler when Reagan held office, but he remembers watching some of the then-president’s speeches.

“It was something you wanted to listen to when he spoke.”

His grandparents, Robert and Barbara LaKosh, are lifelong Democrats, but they thought highly of Reagan and shared their admiration for him with Jeremy, he said.

Reagan believed that individuals working together could have an impact on the country, LaKosh said. He considers Reagan the last U.S. president to embody the “American Dream” and to rise from a simple background to greatness.

“He really improved America,” LaKosh said.
