You know my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as dad. I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan's son.

Dad was the only adult male I ever trusted.

It's hard to learn about your parents' courtship.

Everyone seemed to want a piece of Ronald Reagan. It was maddening.

Hollywood was never great for children.

I constantly looked for motherly protection.

Dad sometimes patted me on the knee and called me his Little Schmuck.
