Old Friends Fete Nancy Reynolds

Published Friday, June 15, 2007
The 80th birthday party for Nancy Reynolds, long-time lobbyist and Reagan family friend, brought out the Republican heavyweights.
Vice President Dick Cheney and Lynne Cheney, former Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Joyce Rumsfield, Mike and Carolyn Deaver, Reagan attorney general Ed Meese and chief of staff Craig Fuller came to toast the glowing Reynolds, who was leaving the next morning for Africa. Rumsfeld seemed very relaxed and talked about heading off to the Eastern Shore, where both he and Cheney have second homes.
There were even a few Democrats sprinkled around the room—Reynolds’s former lobbying partner Ann Wexler, who served in the Carter White House; her son Dave, a Clinton aide; and lobbyist Michael Berman.
The party was held at Wexler & Walker, Reynolds’s old firm, hosted by Reynolds’s sons, Michael Reynolds and Kurt Wurzberger.
Reynolds will have a second birthday celebration in Morocco next week. Read below for pictures from the event.

Nancy Reynolds is a true patriot. She was the first woman to anchor the evening news for KPIX in San Francisco in 1966. She became an aide to Gov. Reagan and then served the White House for many years. She has served on the boards of several major corporations. She has traveled the world and worked to preserve peace and the environment.
I am a working class pilot who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
To those who defame this celebration of 80 years of life, I ask....what have you accomplished.

Not war criminals, more like patriots. You idiots don’t know the difference of living in a democracy where we have to do things to protect ourselves from terrorists. You should go live in yemen...

Why should we waste our beautiful minds on body bags and deaths when we are having so much fun here?

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.
