"This man made Americans feel good about being American and right now we need to remember that, especially in these difficult times," said Hinton.^[8] Hinton spoke out internationally about her neighbor, former President and actor Ronald Reagan, to the Guardian UK, June 7, 2004: Daryn Hinton said it was the legendary ability of the "great communicator" to reach out to the American people that set him apart. "He was able to communicate to people how he felt about America," she said. "He was an actor, after all."^[9]
