On March 9, 2011 Jim and Joyce Van Schaack and friend, Carol Gilles, met at The Reagan Ranch Center – Young America’s Foundation in Santa Barbara, California. Marilyn Fisher, curator for The Reagan Ranch, located about thirty miles from the Foundation office, was our driver and tour guide for our trip to the Reagan Ranch or Rancho del Cielo. The trip was made mostly by freeway, but toward the end we had to travel about seven miles on narrow unpaved roads.
