Not for his Presidency because we were still pretty young to care much....but it meant field trip day to his hometown of Dixon (he was born in Tampico). We loved him as much as Casimir Pulaski which usually meant another day off in November I believe. Regarding thread I'll add this. x3 on Reagan. Pulaski 🇵🇱 Kosciuszko 🇵🇱 Kossuth 🇭🇺 Havel 🇨🇿 Lafayette 🇫🇷 great to see Illinois honor a truly great man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dislike carrying anything in my pockets (phone included, but I will NEVER have one of those belt clips, lol); my iPhone case is one of those card holders (3 CCs & ID) and that's it. Rarely have cash on hand. Now with electronic key fobs and touch button door locks, it's becoming even more paired down, which I like. Only a matter of time until "Apple-Vision" becomes standard in glasses/contacts, and other implements get smaller and more streamlined.
