Reagan on horseback statue in Dixon, Illinois

Yesterday Mrs. Marathon Pundit visited Dixon, Illinois, the boyhood home of the greatest president of the 20th century. She snapped this striking photograph of Dixon's beloved "Dutch" on horseback that is on a small plaza on the south bank of the Rock River. Upriver Reagan served as a lifeguard at Lowell Park for six summers.
