p 355 Ronnie and Nancy by Bob Colacello  Chapter 14 Sacramento: 1967-1968

 

…..In a 1979 interview for a University of California oral history project on his governorship, Reagan looked back on this first inauguration with humble pride.  He recalled that after the swearing in, he took Holmes Tuttle   to see the governor’s office in the east wing of the capitol.  Speaking on behalf of the Kitchen Cabinet, Tuttle told Reagan “to sit down in the governor’s chair there, at the desk, and I did.  Then he said, ‘I don’t know whether anyone has ever been able to say this before to a governor of California.  But now you are sitting in that chair.  And you don’t owe any of us anything.’  He said, ‘All we wanted was good government.  We believed that you could do that.  You have no commitment, no promise to keep to anyone at all.  You just do what you believe should be done.’

 

“And , by that time, I must say, I was eager to deal with the things that up to then I’d only been talking about,” Reagan continued.  “I also have to say that it wasn’t too long after that Nancy and I looked at each other and said that this made anything else we’d ever done in our lives seem as dull as dishwater.  It was the most personally fulfilling experience I’ve ever had.  Some nights you come home feeling ten feet tall.”…..
