San Diego
Former President Ronald Reagan and Vice President Dan Quayle will be in San Diego today, Reagan to speak at a political fund-raiser and a roofing industry conference, Quayle to visit a high school and a center for the disabled.
Reagan will speak at a $250- to $500-a-person noon luncheon at the San Diego Marriott Hotel to raise funds for Sen. Pete Wilson’s campaign for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Some Wilson supporters will also pay $1,000 to have their photo taken with Reagan at a private reception before the luncheon.
After his appearance at Wilson’s fund-raiser at the bayfront hotel, Reagan will travel next door to the San Diego Convention Center to address the National Roofing Contractors Assn.’s annual conference.
Quayle, who arrived in San Diego County on Tuesday to address a Copley Newspapers conference in Borrego Springs, will meet this morning with officials of the Community Service Center for the Disabled and tour its Spoke Shop, which sells and repairs wheelchairs and other equipment.
Later, Quayle will visit Mira Mesa High School, where he will announce a new scholarship program established by Rep. Bill Lowery (R-San Diego). The vice president is scheduled to leave San Diego immediately after his appearance at the school, departing Miramar Naval Air Station about 12:30 p.m. for Peoria, Ill.
