On Tuesday, December 3, Tom Wadsworth will come to the Dixon High School auditorium to present “How Dutch Helped Moon: The Story of the Reagan Brothers.” The presentation is part of Dixon High School’s centennial celebration of Ronald Reagan’s years at DHS from 1924-1928.

Wadsworth will share his research into the relationship between Ronald “Dutch” Reagan and his big brother, Neil “Moon” Reagan. The story traces the special relationship of the two local boys from their Dixon days to their college days at Eureka, their radio days in Iowa, and their professional careers in California and beyond.

A popular speaker and writer on local history, Tom Wadsworth’s career includes 10 years as the morning news anchor on WSDR, 10 years in pulpit ministry, 30 years in corporate communications, and 40 years as a voice-over artist.

The one-hour presentation, which includes several rare photos and little-known details, will be held at the James Wiltz Auditorium at DHS, starting at 6:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
