Reagan and turkey spectacle during Thanksgiving visit
President Reagan endured a staged Thanksgiving moment as a National Turkey Federation turkey flapped and squawked in the Rose Garden while Reagan recounted a rain-soaked weekend turkey hunt in Texas with James Baker. He later passed on firing at a tom to avoid hens nearby. The item also notes the cross Pacific balloon crew greeting in Albuquerque after Double Eagle V’s four day flight from Nagashima Japan.
