Christmas card from 1987, signed as president, sent to his longtime friend Lydia “Hup” MacArthur. Card measures 5.5 x 8, and features an artist’s portrait of Abraham Lincoln’s portrait hanging in the White House dining room. Inside features a pre-printed sentiment from President and Mrs. Reagan, with Reagan adding a handwritten greeting at the top, “Dear Hup, Merry Christmas & lots of love. Dutch.” Lydia Hupfer “Hup” MacArthur was the widow of Pete MacArthur, program director of WOC in Davenport, Iowa. In 1932, MacArthur had given a then 21 year-old Reagan his first job as a sports announcer. They would remain friends until her passing at the age of 102 in 1995. In fine condition.
