Ronald E. (Ron) Wade has been active in politics since age 10--during the 1960 Nixon/Kennedy race. Wade was appointed by President Richard Nixon to his advisory council on ending the draft and Wade met with Nixon in the Oval Office as a college student and continued a friendship which would last a lifetime. Wade has been friends as well with Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and is a close friend of President George W. Bush. Wade was appointed by President George H. W. Bush to his Presidential Inaugural Committee, was a Bush floor leader at the 1988 GOP Conventions and regional director for Bush's races in 1980, 1988 and 1992. Wade was a delegate to the 1988 GOP National Convention and all state conventions since 1972. He is President of the Bush Political Items Collectors, a national group of collectors of Bush memorabilia and hosts a political collector's show yearly. Note: The 2005 Inaugural was quite an occasion for me as I got to sit in the Presidential Reviewing Stand. I also got to ride in a Friends and Family bus right down the parade route in front of the President and got to see exactly what he did--what a thrill!! Ron | |
