Geoff Stooke: How Hemophilia Led the Massie Family to the Romanovs and Ronald Reagan

Geoff Stooke, Director and Co-Founder of Becco, shared  post on X:

“The American story is one of divine providence, and of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Reagan’s life was full of such moments.

The Massie family faced the profound challenge of raising their son with hemophilia, meeting it with love and unwavering support.

Through that struggle they discovered a deep connection to the Romanovs and to Russian history, a path that led Suzanne Massie
to advise President Ronald Reagan and help shape the West’s victory in the Cold War.”

Quoting Presidential Wisdom‘s post:

“Ronald Reagan called ‘Code of the Secret Service‘ the worst movie of his acting career.

Young Jerry Parr saw it, was inspired to join the Secret Service and would later save Reagan’s life in an assassination attempt (1981).”

Quoting Michael Beschloss‘s post:

“In October 1973, when VP Spiro Agnew resigned at a Baltimore courthouse to avoid going to prison, he was guarded by Secret Service agent Jerry Parr (left), who in March 1981 saved President Ronald Reagan from death.”
