CUSTOM FRAMING DETAILS
I HAD THE PROGRAM AND VIP TICKET BEAUTIFULLY FRAMED TO FOREVER COMMEMORATE THE DAY AMERICA HONORED ONE OF ITS GREATEST PRESIDENTS, SOME WOULD SAY THE GREATEST.

* The framing includes (2) different non-fade, non-acidic mattings.
* The program and ticket are inlaid in (5) distinctive custom cuts each bordered by elegant gilded wood.
* UV+ glass has and will continue to protect it from light and sun rays.
* It was a very expensive, custom framing job expertly done by the
professional staff
at The Frame Store, May 29, 2001 near my home in Belmont Shore, Long Beach.
* 20 years later the program and ticket remain in mint condition, a credit to the superior work and quality products used by the Frame Store.
* This beautiful piece of Reagan history will last several lifetimes.
SHIPPING
* It will be well packaged and will be shipped First Class ground unless you would like a specific carrier and delivery speed.
* The buyer pays shipping costs, thank you.
* Im a big believer that the purchaser should dictate how they want their newly purchased item sent to them and at what cost, not me.
* So please let me know your preferences.  (I always encourage insurance be purchased for rare items like this.)
And, please, if you have any questions whatsoever get in touch and I'll get back to you promptly.
Oh, and all reasonable offers will gladly be considered.
So don't be shy or reluctant.
* I would like to see this moment in history hang in the home or office of a Reaganite like myself but is only an emotional preference certainly not a requirement of any potential purchaser:)
* I worked on Capitol Hill before, during and after the Reagan presidency.
* President Reagan, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II are my heroes....and I have great admiration for the wisdom, foresight and especially courage of Mikhail Gorbachev.
* And yes, in the last photo, that is a nice hunk of the Berlin Wall inside the pedestal with the Reagan, JPII busts.
* I purchased it in Berlin on German Reunification Day along Unter den Linden Avenue which goes through the Brandenburg Gate. This broad majestic historic avenue was closed to traffic to allow for the fun street fair-type atmosphere on German Reunification Day, October 3, 1990.
TMI....sorry:)
