While I can generally understand Mr. Beston's premise that Presidents' Day deserves the indifference with which it is generally greeted, he should also be advised that not all American citizens are so blithely dismissive of that significant holiday as some would have it.
I personally, along with my family and some close friends, will attend the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, this coming Presidents' Day Monday and, on that occasion, we will all be particularly mindful of what was perhaps Mr. Reagan's finest counsel to the American people:
"Let us renew our faith and our hope. We have every right to dream heroic dreams." (Jan. 20, 1981)
