Who were Reagans closest friends in office

[fech]

Actually on his staff. Who did he trust and rely on most?

...as I remember, President Reagan's most trusted West Wing counselors were Mike Deaver, James Baker, and Ed Meece.

These folks got him through the assassination attempt and it's aftermath. Several of them served only through his first term and were missed in the second.

Welcome to the board, fech.

Thanks. I was just finishing his diary and it seemed like Shultz was really a close one also.

Vice President Bush: despite the fact some think Reagan and Bush did not like each other they ate a mexican lunch together every tuesday for all 8 years.
