All Reagans at Dinner? Nancy Says No
- Share via
WASHINGTON — Nancy Reagan says the White House will be bulging with family members for the President’s second inaugural this weekend, but “there just isn’t any way” to schedule a private dinner with all four children and their families.
At the White House will be the Reagans’ two children, Ron Reagan and Patti Davis; Ron’s wife, Doria; Reagan’s daughter Maureen by his marriage to actress Jane Wyman; Maureen’s husband, Dennis Revell, and Reagan’s adopted son Michael and his wife, Colleen.
Davis’ husband can’t be here because he is starting a new job teaching yoga on Monday, the day of Reagan’s ceremonial inaugural.
Asked in an interview if she and Michael will ever feel close after their public falling out at Thanksgiving, Nancy Reagan--who commented in an interview last year that Michael was “estranged” from his father--said: “No, I do not believe in talking about family matters in public. I never have. I never will. So everything is fine, and that’s it.”
