  • On Jan. 26, 1982, President Ronald Reagan delivered his first State of the Union address and began the tradition of bringing a guest to watch the speech. Sitting in the House gallery was Lenny Skutnik, who was praised for his heroism when he saved a woman after the aircraft she was in crashed into the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., two weeks prior. CBS News' Dan Rather anchored the CBS News special coverage.

    This occurred almost a year after the attempted assassination of President Reagan. Even Reagan's doctors were amazed at how quickly he recovered and what good shape he was in for a man who at this time was 71 years old. Reagan credited the time spent at his ranch in California and the hard work required to maintain it as the source of his good health. As President Reagan once said, "There is nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse".
