Schoolchildren lead way as Lady Liberty reopens
National celebration marks the reopening of the Statue of Liberty after a three year renovation. First lady Nancy Reagan cut the ribbon as children raised funds amounting to about five million dollars. Kristeen Reft and Laurence Honore joined Reagan in the crown elevator while winners of state essay contests climbed the towers. Crowds swelled with a long wait for access and celebrations included a flyover by eight jets and flags of both nations. Lee Iacocca led a drive that raised sixty six million dollars for the restoration.
