ROCHESTER, Minn. — Former President Ronald Reagan left the hospital today, tipping his hat to well-wishers and revealing a shaved spot on his head where Mayo Clinic physicians performed skull surgery a week ago.
Reagan, 78, and his wife, Nancy, flew back home to Los Angeles aboard a privately owned DC-9 jet.
About 100 people, many of them travelers at the Rochester airport, gathered as the Rochester Lourdes High School marching band played while Reagan said goodby to Mayo Clinic officials and to retired Mayo physician, Dr. Oliver Beahrs.
