Retta Keithley - Ronald Reagan In Dixon

Retta Keithley is a Dixon, Illinois native who went to school around the same time as Ronald Reagan did in the late 1920s. She recalls seeing Reagan acting in a school play when he was in high school. Retta also describes the Dixon grade school and high school in great detail and recalls seeing Reagan walking his high school girlfriend, Margaret Cleaver, home from school from time to time.
