Michael Reagan to visit dad's alma mater, Eureka College

Ronald Reagan's son Michael is coming to northern Illinois to visit Eureka College,
the alma mater of the late president, the AP reports tonight.

While in Illinois, Michael, a conservative radio host, hopes to visit his father's birthplace in tiny Tampico, as well as the Gipper's boyhood home in Dixon.

Dixon is just north of Interstate 88, the recently renamed Ronald Reagan Tollway. Yes, it would be better if it wasn't a toll road. Still, if you're driving on that interstate, visit Dixon. Tampico is not too far away either, it's about 15 miles south of I-88.

That's me in the photo in front of the Reagan Boyhood Home on Hennepin Street in Dixon.

Ronald Reagan was the only president born in Illinois.
