I just got an email from the Reagan Presidential Library and got word about the CD release of “Mourning in America: Music and Eulogies from the Funeral Services of President Ronald Wilson Reagan.”.  I'm still contemplating.  I was hoping the RRPL&F would release the DVD of the funeral service as well.  I like Michael Reagan's eulogy of his father as well the ones by some of the world leaders.
