Ronald Reagan, the first U.S. president to be divorced, had a marriage to actress Jane Wyman that ended at her initiative. Wyman, known for her Hollywood persona, had a history of quick marriages and even quicker divorces. But Reagan found true love with Nancy. Their 52-year marriage was a model of harmony and commitment. In 1971, while Governor of California, Reagan couldn’t attend his son Michael’s wedding, so he wrote him a heartfelt letter: “Dear Mike, You’ve probably heard plenty of jokes from the ‘unhappily married’ and the cynics. But let me offer another perspective: you’re entering the most important relationship in life. It will be what you make it. Some men think they prove their masculinity by living out the locker-room stories thinking ‘what a wife doesn’t know won’t hurt her.’ The truth is, a wife always knows. And when she does, something magical fades. Far too many men who complain about marriage are actually more responsible for the destruction of their relationships than their wives. You get back what you put in. If you give only half, you’ll get half back. There will be times when you look at another woman, remembering the old days. But let me tell you this: proving your masculinity by staying with one woman for life takes strength. Anyone can cheat. But it takes real strength to remain charming and loved by the woman who has seen you at your worst. If you truly love her, you’ll never make her doubt you. You’ll never want another woman to give your wife that ‘secret smile’ the one that says she was once ‘the other one.’ Mike, you know what an unhappy home can do. Now you have the chance to do things the right way. There’s no greater joy than knowing someone is waiting for you at home. With love, Dad P.S. Say ‘I love you’ every day.” Beautiful words from a loving father, and from a man who understood the value of love, family, and friendship. Reagan made sure his wife always waited for the sound of his footsteps at the door. He didn’t just talk about commitment he lived it. Nancy, a wise and devoted woman, fully embraced her role as First Lady not just of America, but of her husband. And Reagan, known for his tough political persona, never forgot that his most important role was as a devoted husband and father. #archaeohistories

Today, the final issue of STAR WARS INSIDER (#237) hits newsstands. At the time of its ending, I have written 34 pieces for the mag (totaling nearly 250 published pages of behind-the-scenes stories)! My final - and most insane - piece is in this last issue. Long live Insider!

My final piece is about SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE (omg), but my final interview mirrored my first interview in issue #202: Timothy Zahn. I’m so lucky. “Legends are a really nice place to be.”

Kurt Loder turned 81 today. According to my sources, you’re not exactly a spring chicken anymore either.

At one time in South, Fl. This was a great place for Ribs Steaks and Seafood. Gone but not forgotten.

On May 5, 1983, Atari released its ‘Star Wars’ arcade game in North America

Really cool to have Phil Collins on @TrunkNationSXM today. Unfortunately I only had about 20 minutes , but made the most of it. Great story about In The Air Tonight, which he had no idea @marilynmanson had just covered until I told him. It’s on the @SIRIUSXM app if you missed it.

On this day in 1992, President Reagan welcomed former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to America, where he toured the Reagan Library and received the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award to honor his role in ending the Cold War.

When The Empire Strikes Back opened at The Equire in May 1980, Chicagoans waited in long lines for hours to see the latest Star Wars film. On the scene for CBS 2, Gene Siskel covered the hectic event and captured some authentic Chicago characters expressing an array of emotions.

@WCBallyoo Love this video clip. WHAT a time capsule. The 70s - 80s was the worst time for "the family unit" in America... but man, the times gave Gen X children the greatest pop culture of maybe all time. #StarWars #TESB #TheEmpireStrikesBack #Theater #Cinema #GeneSiskel #SiskelandEbert

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK trailer with giddy narration by Harrison Ford.

@Photomusicrock Roth was the driving force behind their reaching super stardom. I know Edward and Alex insane talents are obvious but Dave brought the swagger and pushed them to the next level. Read #VanHalenRising by @GregRenoff . The Bible of early #VanHalen days. A must read for real VH fans.

David Lee Roth talks about the 'Classic' Van Halen!

On this date 6 years ago the a legend passed away.

The longer you live, the more you realize you have to pray about everything; it really is that serious.

@acebenji From morning then all throughout the day and of course before I go to sleep. There are demons that will literally ruin your life if you give them a foothold. Plead the blood of Jesus over your mind and life.

"Michael used to come see us a lot. He was a big big fan, especially of Freddie, and Freddie and Michael got on real real well. Michael was very impressed with our lighting rig, I remember. I can’t remember which tour it was. We had pods of lights that moved above the stage that had pilots in them. He said, 'I’m stealing that,' and sure enough on the 'Victory' tour they had something very similar. But Michael really was very fond of Freddie and sort’ve idolized him. Michael really felt he wanted to be a rock star." - Dr. Brian May #MichaelJackson #FreddieMercury
