Reagan reportedly saved 77 swimmers as a teenager
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Long before he was commanding the Cold War or acting alongside chimpanzees, the Gipper was genuinely out here saving drowning swimmers. Working at Lowell Park in Illinois for seven summers, a teenage Reagan supposedly pulled 77 flailing people out of the dangerously swift Rock River. He even carved a notch in a log for every person he saved, giving off major action hero energy before he ever hit Hollywood.
One discovery leads to another.
