To honor what would be President Ronald Reagan's 104th birthday, a celebration is scheduled for Friday, February 6th in Dixon. The Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home and Americans for Prosperity Foundation - Illinois is hosting a Birthday Celebration Breakfast featuring Peggy Grande, COO of the Quiggle Group and the President's personal assistant for a decade following his time in the White House.

Peggy will be on hand to speak to President Reagan’s character, his leadership, and how and why his legacy endures over 25 years after leaving office. She will share some of her favorite Reagan stories, show behind the scenes photos from her private collection, and share lessons she learned personally from her front row seat to history.

The breakfast will take place at The Brandywine Inn on Route 2 in Dixon from Friday, 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. You can reserve you seats here.

We had the opportunity to chat with Peggy in advance of the event. It was wonderful to hear about the President from someone who worked so closely with him. Here's our full conversation:
