The body of Crystal Renae Rigdon, 21, was discovered by a diver in an area about a half-mile from where the bodies of three young men were recovered following the accident at Crooked Creek nearly a week earlier.

The storms that swept through the northern portion of Kentucky on May 27 dumped heavy rains and caused flooding that resulted in rapidly rising waters in the western part of Lwei County.

Sheriff Bill Lewis said the four victims and another young man were in a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado extended cab pickup truck and were driving along Crooked Creek Road and came upon a water-covered portion of the road.

The search continued Monday and Tuesday and again on Wednesday until her body was discovered at about Noon, according to Lewis.

Hundreds of rescue personnel and volunteers carried out the search, some with dogs and others with boats and dive teams.

At 4:09 p.m. on Saturday, June 5, 2004, former President Ronald Reagan passed into eternity at age 93 after a ten-year battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Reagan was America's 40th Chief Executive and the most popular of the post World War II era.

He was conservative and patriotic with unsurpassed skill as a communicator.

On June 12, 1987, he traveled to West Berlin and made the famous speech known for the lines, "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" It came down after his presidency but he received credit for inspiring the act.

Appearing before the Republican National Convention in August, 1992 Reagan stated, "Whatever else history may say about me when I’m gone I hope it will be recorded that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears, to your confidence rather than your doubts."

Basically Reagan was a good man. That's why we liked him. He was a realist and unafraid of America's opponents in the world.

His legacy will include the fact that he brought the Cold War to a close.

We recall that Iranian terrorists released 52 hostages just after he took the oath of office. Why, we're not sure, but perhaps they knew with Reagan as President America would be coming to call.

The former President radiated a positive attitude and fostered an unquenchable spirit. He had confidence in the common folk of the United States and inspired their confidence in themselves. He held to old-fashioned values and propagated them to calm the nerves of a nervous country.

Reagan survived an assassination attempt and won re-election by a landslide, getting 60 percent of the vote. 'Nuff said! America loved Ronald Reagan as President.

No doubt history will be kind to the man who made a slogan out of "Win one for the Gipper!"

Where would the USA be today if Reagan had not strengthened our military?

Perhaps Ronald Reagan was great because he believed in America and all she stands for. That attitude is reflected in his words, "America is too great for small dreams."

May we, too, so believe.
